A deep, warm, brick red sienna earth pigment with high opacity, lightfastness, and a very consistent and smooth texture.
The pigments used to make these colors are specific to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain range. Natural earth pigments have been mined from this region since the mid-1800's, and these colors are still unrivaled in intensity and richness. All three of CfM's Blue Ridge colors are natural iron-oxide pigments — clay deposits that over time have been saturated in limonite, which produces a yellow hue, and hematite, which produces a reddish hue.
Materials: pigment mixed with watercolor binding medium made from distilled water, glycerin, honey, and gum arabic (sap from the acacia tree)
Made by: Case for Making
Made in: San Francisco, CA, USA
Specifications: half pan size: 1.9 cm x 1.6 cm x 0.9 cm
Conforms to ASTM D-4236
PLEASE NOTE: Case for Making watercolors come in the standard half-pan size, which is small! (See dimensions above.) CfM only sells this size because they have found that their paints are so pigment-rich that a little really does go a long way!
