About this product range
These artist grade watercolors continue the Blockx family legacy that began in 1865. They are made using the same processes developed many years ago.
Only the finest ingredients go into the manufacture of Blockx watercolors. Rare, tough pigments are ground slowly and repeatedly on stone mills to achieve the optimum particle size, and to eliminate overheating and iron pollution. The pigments are then blended with pure, light gum Arabic, honey made from selected flowers, and chemically pure glycerin and water.
The result is a variety of stable, transparent colors with wonderful working properties.

- Properties
- Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
- Permanence
- Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
- Toxicity
- Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
- History
- Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.
