Oil Bars: Single-Pigment Colors – Brazilian Earth Colors
 
 
Rio Acima Burnt Earth Oil Bar
 
 
Joules & Joules Burnt Rio Acima Oil Bar is a derivation of our Burnt Rio Acima oil paint. In this process, safe quantities of beeswax and carnauba wax are added to the recipe, keeping the outer membrane solid, and the oil bar creamy inside. Joules & Joules Burnt Rio Acima is made from a naturally occurring soil from the city of Rio Acima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a highly lightfast reddish-brown earth with moderate tinting strength and low covering power. Its reddish color is achieved through a calcination process at temperatures exceeding 550C of the PY 43 pigment, our Rio Acima Earth.
