Goethite Brown Ochre - Found in iron deposits nearly worldwide, Goethite Brown Ochre is named after Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the German philosopher, poet and mineralogist. Daniel Smith's unusually pure pigment is mined in Russia, south of Moscow. Rich and warm, Goethite Brown Ochre is a dark tea color in mass tone and washes out to a rich, warm tan. In washes, it displays intriguing granulation, with pools of light and dark in every brushstroke. Like all colors derived from the earth, it is lightfast and permanent, a lasting connection to the planet and the creative forces of nature.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
