History of Yellow Ochre<\/h2>\n
Yellow Ochre is a natural earth pigment that has been used since prehistoric times. It is derived from clay that contains iron oxide and varies in color from yellow to brown. Yellow Ochre has been used in watercolor painting for centuries due to its natural, warm tone and excellent lightfastness.<\/p>\n
In watercolor painting, Yellow Ochre is a popular choice for creating the illusion of light and depth. It can be used on its own or mixed with other colors to create a range of shades. When mixed with blues, Yellow Ochre can create a range of greens, while mixing it with reds can create warm, muted oranges.<\/p>\n
Yellow Ochre Light is a lighter and more muted version of Yellow Ochre. It is made by washing and purifying Yellow Ochre to remove impurities and create a softer, more delicate hue.
