A warm, glowing earth color, suprisingly smooth in washes. In a light wash, the yellow is very clean, as sunny and subtle as morning light in a French vineyard. This natural ochre was mined from a deep vein that runs near the Loire River in western Burgandy, since the mines were closed in 1970, we feel lucky to have found a supply of this unique pigment.

This beautiful stone has been calcinated to change the iron oxide from cool to warm in hue. The result is striking and the granulating effect enhanced. While the Tiger’s Eye Genuine is cool olive drab, Burnt Tiger’s Eye Genuine is warm reddish-brown. In landscapes, it’s an excellent, natural-looking complement to greens. It’s also great for creating rich, warm flesh tones.

Burnt Yellow Ochre is a beautiful, versatile earth color with the ruddy warmth of redwood, ancient pottery or a sunset-lit peublo. Falling between yellow ochre and burnt sienna, it is a wonderful portrait color. Light, transparent washes create a range of glowing skin tones. On cold pressed or rough paper, it settles and granulates nicely.

Beautiful on its own, and especially so when mixed with a transparent pigment, this sky blue inorganic pigment is granular and medium-light in value. Highly permanent and extremely low-staining, Cerulean Blue creates exciting granulation and settling washes. A drop of Cerulean Blue into a damp wash such as Burnt Sienna creates a halo effect around the more dense Cerulean. This is especially effective when Quinacridone Gold or Quinacridone Burnt Orange are used in the moist underpainting. This technique is great for rendering lichen and Spanish Moss. Add Buff Titanium, Undersea Green and touches of Lunar Black – each a DANIEL SMITH exclusive – and the creative fun truly begins! For a misty landscape or that dusky quality on eggplant, grapes and plums, think Cerulean as a mixer.

Found in iron deposits nearly worldwide, Goethite (Brown Ochre) is named after Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the German philosopher, poet and mineralogist. Our unusually pure pigment is mined in Russia, south of Moscow. Rich and warm, DANIEL SMITH Goethite is a dark tea color in masstone and washes out to a rich, warm tan. In washes, it displays intriguing granulation, with pools of light and dark in every brushstroke. Like all colors derived from the earth, it is lightfast and permanent – a lasting connection to the planet and the creative forces of nature.
