Italian Green Umber
Inorganic, Natural Earth - This lovely Italian Green Umber is a romantic, earthy colour ground in linseed oil. It’s an inorganic pigment especially chosen for its deep, green, warm, and semitransparent undertone. It’s ideal for plein air painters to create rich, earthy greens in their landscapes; portrait artists will appreciate the paint’s ability to help an artist achieve effects like shadows; and No. 132 also proves useful in tonal drawings at the start of a painting. The handling of the paint is smooth and consistent, but you might consider adding a couple of drops of stand oil to enhance its rich moss colour. Please consider my Italian Green Umber for its tremendous beauty. I’m quite proud of it.
