Liquitex Professional Soft Body Acrylics deliver rich, permanent color in a low-viscosity formula made for versatility. Originally developed as the first water-based acrylic in 1955, this modern version offers a smooth, flowing consistency that’s perfect for fine detail, staining, watercolor-style washes, and fluid techniques like pouring and glazing.

Each color contains high pigment concentrations and a flexible acrylic binder that ensures excellent adhesion and surface integrity. The low-drip formula allows for precision in brushwork or pouring, and it dries to a consistent satin finish with minimal color shift.

Compatible with all Liquitex mediums and acrylic formats, Soft Body Acrylics are ideal for traditional painting, mixed media, and experimental applications where fluidity and control matter.

Properties
Burnt Umber is a more intense reddish brown pigment that results from heating the clay pigment Raw Umber. It has medium to excellent tinting strength and high opacity, and it is quick drying in oil form. Burnt Umber is somewhat more transparent than Raw Umber. It has excellent color properties and can create a variety of subtle, clear tints when mixed with white. It can tend towards chalkiness in dark mixes in oil form, but overall it mixes well with other colors. To create a black color in oil form, mix Burnt Umber with Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine. To achieve a similar color in watercolor form, mix it with Ultramarine or Payne's Gray.
Permanence
Burnt Umber has good permanence.
Toxicity
Burnt Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
History
This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is listed as terra di ombra, meaning earth of shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from the area of Umbria, Italy. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.

Chestnut Brown, Euchrome, Jacaranda Brown, Mars Brown, Mineral Brown, Raw Brown, Spanish Brown, Van Dyke Umber. Cyprus Umber, Turkey Brown, and Turkey Umber are the best quality umbers.
