Structure Acrylic Transparent Umber 75ml
Series 3
Artists, while appreciating vibrant colours, prioritize utility in their paint box. Transparent Umber proves incredibly useful, to the extent that it can replace Burnt Umber in many applications. Resonating with the transparency of the original Van Dyke Brown used by artists like Rubens, Transparent Umber serves as a modern alternative with enhanced permanence, a quality lacking in the historical version.
Transparent Umber finds a crucial role in establishing the basic tonal structure of a painting, especially over an imprimatura of Raw Umber. This application aligns with the technique favored by old masters, where thin and transparent darks set the foundation, gradually transitioning to more opaque mid-tones and lights. Although oil painters moved away from such techniques due to drying times, modern acrylic painters can revisit these approaches, benefiting from the quick drying of acrylics and achieving depth and richness through layering.
