Williamsburg Native Italian Earth Oil Colors We are now offering an exciting new line of traditional native Italian earth colors. While these have always made our siennas with premium Italian pigments, these particular earths are scarce and used primarily by art conservators. They are the very same pigments used by the great Sienese and Florentine masters. All are authentic and come from the regions of Italy made famous by these pigments. Unfortunately, because these colors are difficult to get, we cannot absolutely guarantee availability. Please call us at 800-293-9399 before ordering to insure that we have them in stock. Because of the limited quantities available to us, we offer these colors only in 40 ml. and 150 ml. tube sizes.
	#24 Italian Raw Sienna Natural Iron Oxide - PY43 Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent This is the beautiful semi-transparent golden Italian Earth used by the Renaissance masters. The slight gritty quality allows for exquisite undertones.

	#21 Terra Rosa Natural Iron Oxide - PR102 Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent Similar to Pozzuoli Earth, but stronger and earthier. The orange undertone becomes quite pronounced.
	#23 Italian Burnt Sienna Natural Iron Oxide - PR102 Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent Higher pitched and somewhat brighter than our other Burnt Sienna - also, it's slightly warmer.
	#25 Italian Raw Umber Natural Iron Oxide - PBr7 Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent At one time we were able to get what we considered to be a "perfect" raw umber. Unfortunately the main facility in Cyprus burned down. After testing pigments from all over the world we found this pigment from our source in Italy. If ever there was a "perfect" raw umber - this is it
	#22 Black Roman Earth Natural Iron Oxide - PBlk11 Semi-Opaque / Lightfast Rating 1 - Excellent A semi-transparent blackish earth that acts like Cassell earth though cooler and blacker. It is the blackest natural earth we've seen. Wonderful for mixing and perfect for glazing. Very subtle. Great pigment for wash drawings. Better than bitumen or asphaltum.
