Wet Sand – Professional Handmade Watercolour

Description

Wet Sand is a beautifully balanced, natural-looking brown made from a blend of Raw Umber (P.Br 7) and Yellow Iron Oxide (P.Y 42). This versatile watercolour captures the soft, muted tones of damp earth, coastal beaches, woodland paths, and windswept dunes. Designed for adaptability, it maintains a perfect neutrality—never too warm, never too cool—and responds well to temperature shifts with other pigments.

This semi-transparent colour can be easily adjusted: add yellows to bring warmth or blues to push it cooler or more grey. It offers a strong, grounded base for landscape work and is ideal for painting sandy textures, soil, shadows, bark, or background washes. With no granulation and a smooth flow, Wet Sand creates seamless transitions and naturalistic tones that suit both detailed and expressive techniques.

Lightfast and non-staining, Wet Sand retains its integrity in both diluted washes and full-strength applications. Its earthy, flexible character makes it a studio essential for artists seeking organic colour foundations, harmonious mixes, and subtle, realistic depth.
