Bring warmth and radiance to your palette with Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolour Paint - Transparent Sienna (Colour No. 653, Series 1), a transparent, warm brown that offers a luminous alternative to Burnt Sienna. Made from the highly reliable Red Iron Oxide (PR101) pigment, this shade delivers an extremely lightfast and beautifully balanced tone perfect for artists seeking a natural warmth that enhances both traditional and contemporary work.
Transparent Sienna glows with an earthy richness that makes it ideal for mixing, glazing, and layering. Its semi-staining and transparent nature allows for delicate colour transitions and clean, vibrant washes, while maintaining full control over depth and tone. The result is a warm, glowing brown that complements skin tones, landscapes, and architectural subjects with effortless harmony.

Once dry on your palette, the colour easily reactivates with water, retaining its strength and clarity for consistent, professional results.
