Description
A light color red ocher that is no longer in use. Sinopia was originally mined near the city of Sinope in Asia Minor. It was used as a pigment from ancient times until the Renaissance. Sinopia was primarily used for sketches and underdrawings. It has been replaced by other natural red pigments such as red ocher, Venetian red, Spanish red and terra rosa.
