Advent Calendar Day 5: Raw Sienna

I drew a paint, finally! I got: Da Vinci Raw Sienna. I used to love this paint, but I’ve been painting with a lot more MANS lately, so now’s time to get re-acquainted.

I made a color chart, because I just felt like swatching. This compares Naples Yellow Deep, MANS, and DV Raw Sienna when combined with Pyrrol Scarlet, Naphthol Scarlet, or Quinacridone Coral.

I started some paintings too, but I didn’t finish any.

General impressions: As I found in the Buff Titanium replacement test, Raw Sienna is extremely convenient for desert scenes. It just looks correct, right out of the tube. I like the other earth yellows, but they’re too yellow for some scenes.
