Question 3

How does Raw Umber behave in glaze or layering techniques?

Question 4

How does System 3 Raw Umber compare with Burnt Umber in the same line?

Accepted Answer

Raw Umber provides a lighter, warmer deep brown suitable for mid-tones and shading, while Burnt Umber is darker and richer for deep shadows and more intense earth tones. Both offer high opacity and good leveling and pair well when used together in landscapes and portraits.

Question 5

What surfaces can I paint on with this acrylic color?

Accepted Answer

System 3 acrylics adhere well to primed canvas, stretched canvas boards, illustration boards, wood panels, and other primed surfaces. For porous surfaces, use a suitable primer for best results.

Question 6

How should I apply and mix Raw Umber for smooth texture and even coverage?

Accepted Answer

Squeeze a small amount onto a palette, mix with a little water or acrylic medium for flow, and apply with a synthetic brush or palette knife. For smoother coverage, use thin layers and allow each to dry before adding more; avoid overworking to prevent chalky texture.

Question 7

Is this color water-based and easy to clean up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. System 3 Acrylic Colour is water-based and cleans up with soap and water while wet. Once dry, cleaning brushes requires more effort.

Question 8

Is the Raw Umber pigment lightfast and color-stable over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The System 3 line uses lightfast pigments to minimize fading or shifting hues under normal indoor lighting, helping natural earth tones stay stable over time.

Is this product safe to use and are there any safety considerations?
