 pigments. Our natural ochres pigments and our natural earths pigments are all 100% natural and are extracted from different quarries in France, in particular in the Ardennes, Burgundy, Vaucluse but also in different countries such as Germany, Italy, and India. Depending on the region, we will have all different colors. They are extracted, washed, then dried, and if necessary, burned or calcined according to the color that one wishes to obtain, to finish finely crushed in order to obtain an impalpable powder of the order of 30 microns.

natural ochres and natural earths have the advantage of being able to be mixed together to obtain other colors because they are compatible with each other. they also have excellent opacity, great resistance to alkalis, such as lime paste, and great resistance to uv (insensitive).

They have the advantage of being compatible with all binders such as lime paste or powder or cement but also natural or synthetic oils, glues, gums and resins (gum arabic, shellac, rabbit skin glue, acrylic binder, linseed oil) and can be used in all techniques (oil, egg, casein, acrylic, skin glue, lime, plaster, fresco).
