[Ravensfort] Raven's Fort red ochre

[Sher M]

Would the white caliche clay (that's what I've heard it called) that is common for driveways be viable as a pigment?

  Ochre with an oil binder goes all the way back to Pliny the Elder. Also Both Ceninni and Theophilus talk about using red ochre in oil as a base for flesh tones.

  Ochre pigments can be made from just about any kind of dirt or clay. The most common are red and yellow.
