Burnt Yellow Ochre PR102 Ocre Jaune Brûlée

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

DANIEL SMITH is truly the worldwide leader in watercolours for artists, offering the most beautiful colours of any manufacturer. Many traditional colours are relied upon by artists, and many "truly unique" colours made only by DANIEL SMITH have become essential to watercolour artists.

PrimaTek Watercolours are made from minerals, often semi-precious minerals, that have been ground into pigments, mixed with gum arabic (the binder), and milled into them. The first was Lapis Lazuli Genuine in 1998; since then, many more have been added, including Amethyst Genuine, Piemontite Genuine, and Serpentine Genuine. Most of these colours have excellent granulating effects that some artists have called "magical."

Luminescent Watercolours have special optical effects perfect for subjects with a sparkle, sheen, or reflective glow, such as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers or the sheen of metals.

Cadmium Hues, DANIEL SMITH has developed safe and vibrant Cadmium Hues with the density and richness of cadmium colours without the cadmium pigment. Virtually identical in colour to their namesakes, they are cleaner in mixtures and much more robust in tints. The working properties—staining power, semi-transparency, and excellent lightfastness—are nearly identical to those of the low-soluble cadmium colours that DANIEL SMITH previously manufactured.

Other unique watercolours from pigments that DANIEL SMITH has sourced, often from particular locations, include colours such as Burgundy Yellow Ochre, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, and Roasted French Ochre. Some are created exclusively by DANIEL SMITH, such as Cascade Green, Deep Sap Green, and Green Gold.

DANIEL SMITH also finds unusual pigments to make colours like Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Lunar Blue, and Environmentally Friendly Red Iron Oxide, providing artists with more options.
