ABOUT THIS COLOUR
Raw Sienna is a warm golden earth colour formulated with Pigment Yellow 42 (PY42). Soft, transparent, and naturally luminous, it captures the colours of sunlit sand, dry grasses, weathered stone, straw, and warm afternoon light. Its understated beauty makes it one of the most versatile and indispensable earth colours in the watercolour palette.
Ideal for landscapes, architectural studies, botanical illustrations, wildlife, portraits, and urban sketching, Raw Sienna provides subtle warmth without overwhelming surrounding colours. It is also an exceptional mixing pigment, producing fresh natural greens with blues, warm neutrals with browns, and delicate skin tones with reds.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• High-Quality Pigment: Made with premium-quality pigments for strong, consistent colour, smooth application, and reliable coverage in every wash.
• The "Full Pan" Guarantee: We fill these 2.5ml pans in multiple layers. Because watercolour shrinks as it dries, we repeat the process so you get a full, generously filled pan rather than a half-empty one.
• Ready to Paint: You won't be scrubbing at the pan to lift colour. Just hit it with a damp brush and it reactivates instantly, ready for smooth, dependable use every session.
• Warm transparent earth colour: Its transparent character is perfect for glazing, layering, and building luminous landscapes, natural textures, and soft atmospheric effects.
• Great for Mixing: Blends effortlessly throughout the Thoovi range to create natural greens, warm neutrals, golden browns, realistic skin tones, and harmonious landscape palettes.
• Travel-Friendly: It's a standard half-pan size, so it drops right into almost any portable palette - ideal for travel, plein air work, or urban sketching.
• Safe & Lasting: Non-toxic and rated very good for lightfastness, so this colour is safe to use and holds its tone well over time when displayed and stored correctly.
