Hey friends!

In today's episode of The Paint Show we'll be looking at a very interesting paint. It's a paint I used extensively, pretty much from my beginning in watercolor.

It's BURNT SIENNA! (:

I'm so happy to finally cover this one, as it's probably one of my favorites out there!

This is Schmincke Horadam's small 5ml tube.

Sienna is an earth element, composed of mainly Iron Oxide, as well as little (~5%) Manganese Oxide.

The Manganese Oxide is actually the factor that differentiates Sienna from Ochre.

Used raw, it has a yellow-brown color. But when heated, this pigment gets that brown-red color we love.

This paint is named after the city-state Siena (aka the Republic of Siena). This was an independent state in Italy, during the years 1125-1555 (a little over 400 years).

The first documented usage of the color name Sienna in the English language is from 1760.

Together with Umber and Ochre, these three are among the oldest documented paints humans used. These all date back to cave wall drawings.

Pigments: 
PR101 (synthetic Iron Oxide Red, very commonly used in red-browns)
PBk9 (Bone black, made of charred animal bones).

For an alternative that does NOT contain animal-products, check out Daniel Smith's Burnt Sienna, which contains PBr7 (Brown Iron Oxide).

On an artistic level, Schmincke's Burnt Sienna is more beautiful in my opinion. However, due to it containing PBk9, I'll probably stick to Daniel Smith's version of this particular paint in the future.

Some more nerdy stats:

- Series 1
- Excellent lightfastness (5/5)
- Semi-opaque
- Staining
- Non-granulating

And this covers it all!

I hope you enjoyed this video, and I'll see you again in a new episode of The Paint Show, as well as new videos, soon! (:
