DANIEL SMITH EXTRA FINE WATERCOLOR 15ML - BURNT YELLOW OCHRE (S2)

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.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
