Nicosia Raw Umber Pigment
Step into the world of art with our exceptional Nicosia Raw Umber pigment, sourced from the rich deposits of Cyprus. This premium quality, fine, brown powdered pigment is perfect for use in all mediums, including tempera, oil, and watercolor.
Umbers, a family of mineral pigments, have been used for centuries, and our Nicosia Raw Umber is no exception. Derived from natural earths colored by iron and manganese oxides, this pigment boasts an unparalleled richness and depth. The name "umber" itself is derived from the Italian word "ombra," meaning "shadow," as it was often used to create dark, shadowy areas in art.
With a rich history dating back to prehistoric times, umbers have been highly valued for their warm, earthy tones. Our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment is particularly prized for its yellowish-brown to greenish-brown hue, which is influenced by its high manganese content. This unique characteristic gives our pigment exceptional tinting strength and covering power.
The chemical composition of our Nicosia Raw Umber is closely related to its iron oxide content, making it a versatile and reliable choice for artists. As demonstrated by the experiments of K.I. Tolstikhinoy, the chromacity of natural iron oxide and clay pigments are closely related to their iron oxide content.
This pigment is also notable for its ability to change color when heated. When umber is heated, the hydrated iron oxide gives up water, resulting in a darker, more intense shade. At higher temperatures, the pigment acquires a reddish-brown tone, making it an ideal choice for creating rich, warm colors.
Permanence and compatibility are key benefits of our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment. It does not react with other pigments and is effectively used in fresco, oil, tempera, and watercolors. This pigment is also permanent, with medium to excellent tinting strength and high opacity. Additionally, it does not react with solvents and is indifferent to alkalis, but is partially soluble in acids.
When grinding our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment in oil, it absorbs a moderately high amount of oil. The oil absorption ratio is 45-55 parts by weight of linseed oil to 100 parts by weight of pigment. This unique characteristic makes it ideal for creating rich, vibrant colors.
Rest assured that our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment is non-toxic, although care should be taken when handling the dry powder to avoid inhaling the dust. With its incredible color intensity, versatility, and permanence, our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment is a must-have for artists of all levels.
Our Nicosia Raw Umber pigment is part of the esteemed Rublev Colours brand, renowned for its exceptional quality and commitment to artistic excellence. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this pigment is sure to elevate your art to new heights.
