Perhaps the loveliest thing about this yellow ochre is its hue. It is golden, lemony (in the way that ochres are lemony), and chromatic. This color has a spring to the way it handles and is fun to move with a palette knife. This description is subjective but it has a touch of a filmy or even a touch of a soapy quality which texturally is not exactly a bad thing, though it may be a kind of filler. This color has an impasto quality and forms stiff, thin peaks that stay elevated when pulled up with a palette knife.

“This modest, yet valuable earth color has been on painters’ palettes since painting began. Pure, hydrated yellow iron oxide (goethite). Indispensable for naturalistic color-mixing.” -Gamblin

From a previous description, "Yellow Ochre has been used in art-making since earliest history. Yellow Ochre is a muted earthy yellow brown with good hiding power and a muted tint.“ -Gamblin Oils.
