YELLOW OCHRE
Yellow ochre has been in constant use by artists from all civilisations since the dawn of time. It has good lightfast properties and is derived from carefully selected and processed natural coloured earth. The better grades are not only very transparent when thinned down but also offer good covering power when more concentrated. I enjoy using this FW Acrylic Ink yellow ochre, because it is softer and less insistent than some of the stronger yellows available as ink.
