Meet your new studio staple. Nova Color burnt umber acrylic paint (#101) is a deep, neutral earth brown that lays in fast, covers clean, and stays true thanks to excellent lightfastness. This opaque burnt umber acrylic paint anchors values for underpainting, portraits, and landscape work without muddying your mixes.

Why Artists Reach for #101

• Coverage you can count on. The opaque body blocks in forms and fixes values without extra passes.
• Mixes that stay honest. Build natural shadows and skin-tone ramps with #118 Titanium White, #121 Yellow Ochre / Iron Oxide, and #122 Ultramarine Blue—stable, repeatable neutrals.
• Versatile handling. Use straight from the jar for rich, matte coverage, or thin with acrylic medium for scumbles, glazes, and washes.
