Ochre paint. Person filling a bowl from a sack of ochre-coloured earth that will be used to colour paint. Ochres are amongst the earliest pigments used by mankind. They can be various yellow, brown and reddish colours, and are derived from clay that is naturally tinted due to the presence of mineral oxides. Here, it is being used as a traditional, sustainable and economical material to re-paint buildings in a village. Photographed in Chatellenot, France.
