In masstone this is a dark brown with a subtle greenish edge. It is fairly neutral in temperature, although I would class it as leaning slightly warm rather than cool. The most warmth is seen when used thinly, and its semi-transparent nature allows for more light through.
The tints when mixed with white are fairly neutral greys with a gentle warmth, it is a relatively strong tinter.
It paints 'long' meaning it is fairly lean in body and also makes it a pleasure to use without any medium. A very good raw umber and would be very useful to the portrait or landscape painter.
It is sourced from French quarries in the Luberon massif, many of which are no longer mined.
