Oil paints are a miniature painter's secret weapon! From effortless pinwashing of details, quick and satisfying shading and the smoothest blends in the painting world, we recommend everyone to try them out! Winsor & Newton Artist Grade oil paints are the perfect combination of finely milled pigments and quality oils. We recommend using synthetic brushes, odorless white spirit to clean brushes and paint that got where it shouldn't, and linseed oil to dilute the paints.
A rich dark brown pigment, Burnt Umber is made from natural brown clays found in earth. It was named after Umbria, a region in Italy where it was mined. Burning the raw pigment intensifies its colour.
