DETAILS:
Burnt Sienna
Calcined raw sienna, unique stock from the old working on Monte Amiata, Tuscan7. The raw sienna is washed and sieved to a fine grain size – then calcined to 320C.
Puisaye Burgundy Apricot
Ochres from Bourgogne are denser and stronger than ochres from Provence.
Leighton Red Ochre
Sourced from Leighton in Lancashire, England. This old English estate dates back to medieval times – the nearby village of Warton has long associations with George Washington’s family – and the ‘paint mines’ on Warton Crag were dug for their fine iron ores since the iron age. In the 18th & 19th centuries the Paint Mines on the Leighton Hall Estate were used for color production, for commercial and artist’s paints. Since the early 20th century, the paint mines were abandoned. Our project involved procuring mineral iron ore from the old paint mines and pulverizing the raw ore into very fine powder, down to 20-30 micron size. This yields a very strong color when used as a pigment, in watercolor, oil, or in pastel form, as with the Pigment Cigar format.
