W&N Artists' Oil Colors Raw Sienna #552 is made from pure and natural ingredients. Raw Sienna is a light brown color that is found in ancient cave paintings. Some of the oldest paintings known to man used this natural brown color. One of the earth colors of nature, this light brown is excellent for coloring dessert backgrounds, mosaics, pottery and other accessories in any art work. This light brown contrasts exceptionally with blues, reds and greens. It blends well with whites or blacks and forms a relaxing earth-tone collage with oranges and yellows. Raw Sienna is also very successful in art projects as a background color. Browns are associated with a rustic environment that is restful and simple in contrast to the busy world of modern times. Raw Sienna is a great choice to perfect your artwork.
