Case for Making Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre

The richest ochre we've made yet! This deep gold is lightfast and highly opaque, with an incredibly smooth and consistent texture. The color sits extremely matte, but can be watered down to subtle yellows or tinted to an opaque pastel. Like Blue Ridge Red Hematite and Blue Ridge Violet Hematite, Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre derives from a natural iron-oxide pigment specific to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain range.

The perfect earthy, ochre orange for those rich summer sunsets! We are so excited to add Luberon Orange to our earth pigment collection. Luberon orange originates from ocher deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel nested in a 12 mile long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Mountains. This pigment has a smooth, rich, and opaque color payoff and is also lightfast.

This rich blue is in a category all its own—its depth and range exceeds any other color we can think of! Compared with Synthetic Indigo , our Genuine Indigo is a bit more textured and deeper in tone. Both are fantastic for layering, glazing, and color mixing (a little bit goes a long way!) and are wonderfully opaque at full saturation. Genuine Indigo is derived from the Indigofera tinctoria plant through a fermentation process, and further refined to achieve greater saturation and intensity.

A deep and warm earth color, similar to a deep scarlet, Venetian Red is opaque and lightfast with a smooth and consistent texture. This pigment comes from the southern Italian Alps, which is a rich source of very old earth pigments preserved by overlapping volcanic rock. It consists almost completely of ferric oxide derived from hematite, a crystalline-structured mineral form of iron(lll) oxide. Venetian Red was a color widely used in Italian Renaissance painting beginning in the 14th century.

Our ultimate blended brown! Cocoa is a careful mix of 6 (!!) of our core collection colors—the most out of all our blends, with Lime and Ruby in close second. Compared to Burnt Umber Dark and Reddish—both beautiful, single origin earth pigments that lend texture and transparency—Cocoa is a smooth, opaque alternative with a lovely ultra-matte finish. The cool thing about Cocoa is that the colors used to make this blend include two different reds, two yellows, and two blues! The fact that mixing the three primaries together creates an unlimited amount of neutrals never ceases to amaze us!

Mop brushes are naturally fluffy and soft—wonderful for creating light washes or calligraphy script. The bristles puff out a bit, which lends toward beautifully varied brush strokes. They're also handy for lifting a good amount of water when making premixtures! Our premium quality brushes have coated wood handles labeled with our classic gold lettering, and synthetic bristles that fit into a metal ferrule. Imported from Germany. NOTE: please keep the plastic and metal wire wrapping ON! Removing this will ruin the brush, as the wrapping holds the brush hairs together!
