Series 1.

Raw Umber Deep is darker in shade than Raw Umber due to the addition of black to umber. This produces a colour similar to Bistre, a colour used by the old masters as the brown ink in their drawings. It was made by partially burning beechwood and then boiling the burnt wood to extract the colour, the watery colour result was used as ink.

Raw Umber Deep is an excellent colour for mixing with other colours to darken them and can be mixed with Phthalo Green and Matisse Rose Madder to make soft brownish blacks. It is a beautiful dark brown to use.
