Found in iron deposits nearly worldwide, Goethite (Brown Ochre) is named after Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the German philosopher, poet and mineralogist. Rich and warm, Goethite is a dark tea color at its most saturated 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.
Sophie says: “This is one of my desert island colors! I use it all the time. It’s the perfect warm brown and the granulation is exciting!”
