Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Raw Umber Light 60 ml

Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Raw Umber Light in a 60 ml tube is a water-based professional acrylic paint formulated for fine art and mixed-media applications. Raw Umber Light is a warm pale brown derived from natural earth clays and suited to a wide range of traditional and contemporary painting techniques. The formulation uses advanced resin technology to minimise colour shift during drying and provides good pigmentation with the fast-drying properties typical of professional acrylics.

Advantages

This professional acrylic offers high colour intensity and stable hue during drying thanks to modern resin binders. The paint has good covering power and can be thinned or modified with acrylic mediums without losing film integrity. Its consistency supports layering, glazing and detailed brushwork, and the water-based formulation makes cleanup straightforward while remaining suitable for archival fine-art work when applied to appropriate primed supports.

Suitable for

• Oil-free acrylic painting on canvas and canvas board
• Layering and glazing techniques in fine art
• Mixed-media works combining acrylics with inks or pastes
• Study, sketch and detail work on paper or primed panels

Key specifications

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure even consistency. Apply directly from the tube with brushes, palette knives or other tools onto canvas, board or primed paper. For transparent effects, mix with a glazing medium or dilute with water sparingly; for increased body and texture, combine with heavy body mediums or modelling pastes. Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before applying subsequent layers to avoid lifting or mixing of colours.

Usage recommendations

Use on properly primed and dry surfaces for best adhesion and archival stability. Test compatibility when combining with other brands or non-acrylic materials. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Store tubes in a cool, dry place with caps tightly closed to prevent skinning and preserve pigment quality.
