Create rich, natural depth in your artwork with Earth & Mineral Pigments, Black Ochre, 1 lb. This rare, naturally occurring pigment is sourced from dark iron oxide-rich earth, producing an earthy black with subtle brown undertones. Milled to a fine, even texture, it disperses smoothly in acrylic, oil, watercolor, gouache, tempera, and lime-based mediums. Black Ochre is valued for its natural transparency and balanced tone, offering softer, more organic blacks than synthetic alternatives like carbon or mars black. Ideal for mixing, shading, and glazing, it maintains exceptional lightfastness and coverage. Non-toxic, eco-friendly, and free from synthetic dyes or heavy metals, this pigment is safe for artists, educators, and craftspeople. Packaged in recyclable, compostable materials, it provides professional-quality color while supporting sustainable creative practices.
