Domestic North American pigments sourced from the multifarious land of Utah.  It's generally true that one raw umber will look like the next, but it's also true that most earth pigments come from China or in some cases Cyprus unless specially specified by the paint manufacturer.  It gives us great pleasure to offer pigments from the American West. We think these pigments have uniquely subtle qualities that make for some interesting uses. They are fun to mix with and predominantly semi-transparent, which makes for good play when thinned with medium.
