Earth pigments are natural colorants derived from minerals found in the soil. These pigments are often made from clay, iron oxides, and other earth materials, giving them a wide range of colors, including reds, yellows, and browns. They have been used for thousands of years in art and decoration, providing a sustainable and non-toxic option for artists. These pigments are commonly used in various applications, such as painting, pottery, and cosmetics. Notable examples include ochre, umber, and sienna, which are all types of earth pigments. Their durability and natural origins make them popular choices for both traditional and modern art forms.
