Yellow Ochres PY43

Store / Northern Earth Pigments / Yellow Ochres PY43

The majority of the Yellow Ochres come from the higher fells around the Eden Valley in Eastern Cumbria. Typically the stronger yellows and oranges are found in the higher up than the paler yellows and often soft stones.

The yellow ochres are sandstones and clays stained with iron oxide better known as rust.
On the banks of England's second largest lake, Ullswater we have found a soft yellow sandstone that turns into a beautiful yellow.
Close to Alston, the UK’s highest market town with Buxton at 1,000 feet. The artist has isolated several interesting yellows from the surrounding sandstone.
Mallerstang dominates the head of the Eden Valley. Closely linked to Lady Anne Clifford and almost the birthplace of the scientist Michael Faraday. Among the clay and peat moors the artist has discovered pockets of yellow clay.
A short distance away, across the moors lies Tan Hill pub the highest in the Britain. Close by we found the orange clay embedded with mica.
Across the Scottish borders in a disused quarry we found a similar but darker gold ochre.
