Where Do Earth Pigments Come From?

Earth pigments are derived from natural minerals found in the earth, making them a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice for artists. Burnt Sienna, for example, comes from the Siena region of Italy, where it was historically mined and processed. The pigment is produced by heating raw sienna, a yellowish-brown clay rich in iron oxide and manganese dioxide, to produce its distinctive reddish-brown colour.

Other earth pigments, such as ochre and umber, also have their origins in ancient geological formations. These pigments are harvested from clay deposits and processed to enhance their colour and usefulness. The natural composition of earth pigments includes iron oxides, which give them their characteristic warm, earthy hues. They have been used since prehistoric times and were essential for art during the Renaissance and beyond.
