Description

Sahara is a warm, natural earth tone inspired by the sunbaked beauty of desert terrain. This handmade watercolour blends **Potter’s Pink** (P.R 233), **Raw Umber** (P.Br 7), and **Natural Yellow Ochre** (P.Y 43) to produce a softly muted, sandy hue that mirrors the tones of windswept dunes and sunlit rocks.

The gentle rose tone of **Potter’s Pink** lays the foundation, adding a delicate warmth and dusty softness. **Raw Umber** contributes depth and earthiness with its rich, dark brown tones, while **Natural Yellow Ochre** infuses the mix with golden warmth, reminiscent of desert sunshine reflecting off sand and stone.

Sahara offers **semi-transparent** coverage with a smooth, **granulating** texture that creates natural variation in washes. Its excellent handling makes it ideal for glazing, layering, and atmospheric effects—perfect for evoking the subtle gradients of sandscapes, arid hills, or textured architectural elements.

Whether you're painting desert landscapes, aged walls, or earthy natural scenes, this versatile color brings harmony, tranquility, and warmth to your palette. **Sahara** is a must-have for artists looking to capture the quiet vastness and natural charm of arid environments.
