Be impressed with the properties of Rublev Colours French Burnt Sienna. The color is rich and earthy, and it has a beautiful texture that makes it perfect for creating stunning works of art. What's even more fascinating is that this pigment comes from the ochre deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel nestled in a 12-mile-long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Mountains, the ochre country. We love that it's from the last remaining European companies operating in this region, giving it a unique and special quality.
