Williamsburg Oil Colour Italian Black Roman Earth S3 37ml

PBr 7 - Calcined Natural Iron Oxide containing Manganese

A semi-transparent blackish earth that acts like Cassell earth though cooler and blacker. Wonderful for mixing and perfect for glazing. Very subtle. Great pigment for wash drawings. Better than bitumen or asphaltum.
The Williamsburg Native Italian Earth Oil Colours use rare pigments from the same mining regions in Italy made famous by the Sienese and Florentine masters. They are prized for their authenticity and have been used by many conservators and restorers in addition to painters looking to connect to the traditions of the past.
