Golden Ochre is a natural yellow iron oxide that produces a bright, warm golden yellow with good tinting strength. Ochres are among some of the most indispensable pigments for landscape, still life, wildlife, portrait, botanical, and floral subject matter thanks to the wide range of earthy yellows seen in nature.

Artist Notes: Golden Ochre is useful across an enormous range of subject matter and it can be used to brighten up other earth colours like Raw Sienna. Add Golden Ochre to a range of blues to create muted earthy greens, notably a pretty olive green when combined with Prussian Blue

Paint Maker’s Notes: Ochres are natural yellow earth pigments which have been used by humans since pre-history and are still among the most popular pigments used by artists.
