Yavapai Genuine P,

made from earthy-

brown stone, is a

mellow pink-brown

granulating paint.

Burgundy Red

Ochre, a surprisingly

transparent natural

ochre, is a rich and

deep earthy pigment.

This pigment comes from Burgundy France and is especially noteworthy

for its lovely granulation in watercolor.

Terre Ercolano is also rather vibrant, and even redder than the burnt si-

ennas. Transparent Red Oxide is a significant contrast to the vivid synthetic

oranges. It is a rustier orange, completely lightfast, with beautiful granula-

tion in washes. Transparent Brown Oxide is a rich, warm brown with the

interesting granulating effects produced with iron oxide.

Notice on the color map how cleanly Quinacridone Burnt Orange plots

in comparison to any of the Burnt Siennas it s also more golden. Lunar

Earth is a Daniel Smith exclusive close in color to Burnt Sienna and made

with iron oxide, it produces a fascinating separation effect in washes.

Mummy Bauxite P is made from inorganic Bauxite, a mixture of alumi-

num and iron oxides. This warm cinnamon color granulates more dramati-

cally than Burnt Sienna to resemble the look of rusted iron.

English Red Earth, Venetian Red and Indian Red are dense, at, opaque

inorganic colors. Venetian Red is redder and Indian Red is browner. English

Red Earth falls between them and produces smooth, even washes.

Italian Venetian Red is more granular and slightly browner. Italian Burnt

Sienna is similar to our standard Burnt Sienna with a higher chroma and

slightly warmer, brighter tone.

Sedona Genuine P, Hematite Burnt Scarlet P and Minnesota

Pipestone P, three of the PrimaTek Series colors, are noteworthy for their

remarkable working properties. Sedona Genuine matches the ruddy red

rock from Arizona that it is manufactured from. Hematite Burnt Scarlet is

created from authentic Hematite that has a higher red iron oxide content

than our Hematite Genuine. It is a rich rusty-orange hue that granulates to

create dark orange-brown areas. Minnesota Pipestone has become a favorite

of portrait artists for its subtle brown-pink hue. Pipestone, or genuine Cat-

linite, creates a creamy and earthy paint with a warm undertone.

Higher-chroma Cadmium Red Deep is another of our low-soluble

cadmium colors.

We now move on to four of my favorites: Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet,

Permanent Brown, Perylene Maroon and Deep Scarlet all unique new

colors. They all are rich, saturated, high tinting colors that are sedimen-

tary and move from very dark red-browns to glowing washes. Permanent

Brown and Deep Scarlet are created from a small group of pigments called

azo pigments, known for their outstanding lightfastness. Lastly, Anthra-

quinoid Red, a vat pigment, is a warm, granular violet-red, lightfast rated

I Excellent. For those interested in permanence, it is a good replacement

for Alizarin Crimson, although it does not mix as cleanly.

The last division within the yellow to red section contains the rich dark

brown earth colors and three subtle natural pinks: Tiger's Eye Genuine

P (97), Raw Umber (98), Burnt Tiger's Eye Genuine P (99), Burnt

Umber (100), Lunar Red Rock (101), Pinkcolor (102), Rose Mad-

der Genuine (103), Hematite P (104), Sepia (105), Van Dyck Brown

(106), Hematite Violet P (107) and Raw Umber Violet (108).

The majority of today's brown pigments are still obtained from the

earth. The principle color-producing agent is iron oxide, a material found

in most rocks and earth.

Tiger's Eye P and Burnt Tiger's Eye Genuine P are made from the

light-refracting gemstone. Layers of quartz containing iron oxides give this

stone its characteristic glow and, in paint, produce heavy granulation that

closely resembles the shades found in Tiger's Eye stones. Burnt Tiger s Eye

Genuine is made with stones that have been baked, or calcined, before

being ground into pigment, to create a warm reddish tone.

Dimonite, one type of iron ore, colors the ochres. Siennas have in-

creased iron oxide content, while umbers have an increase in manganese

oxide content. These pigments are not too far removed from the colors

used by the cave painters. Our Van Dyck brown, a blend of siennas and

umbers, is lightfast, unlike many others. One unique color, Raw Umber

Violet, is a mixture of raw umber with quinacridone violet, which gives

this earthy sedimentary color a slight hint of burgundy.

Lunar Red Rock is a DANIEL SMITH exclusive that is an extremely

granulating red iron-oxide.

Rose Madder Genuine, a classic earthy pale pink, is derived from the

roots of the madder plant. It remains popular despite low tinting strength

and marginal lightfastness. Pinkcolor, a pale grayed pink, was a key color

in 18th-century English watercolors and is lightfast.

Hematite P and Hematite Violet P are made from genuine Hematite

but differ in hue due to the variety of mineral content that Hematite can

contain. Hematite has a warm yellow undertone while Hematite Violet

has a striking purple hue.
