Burnt Umber is part of Tri-Art High Viscosity Professional Acrylic Paint, a heavy body acrylic with a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife texture. Built with high pigment loading and a fine grind, it stays bold and clean for impasto, scumbling, and confident brushwork.

Pigment profile: Single pigment colour (PBR7). Bias: Warm. Pigment family: Mineral. Opaque handling, strong coverage for solid passages, tints, and clean colour blocking. Medium tinting strength, mixes predictably across a wide range of palettes. Full staining, tends to leave a stronger stain in thin films and glazes. Lightfastness rating: 4. Sheen: Matte.
