Ocre rouge RFLES (= red ochre RFLES - dark red washed extra superior) results from the cooking of the ocre jaune JFLES (yellow ochre JFLES), extracted from our quarry in Gargas (Vaucluse). It is the finest ochre, the most followed and the most loaded in iron oxide (for more information, read our article on the manufacture of ochre HERE).

Ocre rouge RFLES mixed with linseed oil
Linseed oil : dissolve the powder in a little bit of turpentine before adding it to the linseed oil.
Water-based paint/fatty lime : dilute the pigment in some water to make it liquid before incorporating it into the paint.
Lime powder/cement/plaster : directly incorporate the pigment (up to 10% based on the weight of the binder), then mix in order to stain all of your binder.
Maximum dosage : The maximum dosage is 10% compared to the binder used. Above 10% it is recommended to incorporate fixators and adjuvant (lime use).

These renderings can be similar for any white base mixed with this pigment. However, differences could be possible depending on the binder used, the support and/or the application technique used, which will give a final color more or less light. The mixing possibilities are endless, while respecting the maximum dosage.
If you want to lighten a pigment, before coloring a transparent binder (linseed oil, wax, acryling binder, caparol, flour, etc), you can mix it with blanc Tiona (= white Tiona).
Color : orange-red brown covering with a transparent binder. Salmon slightly pink with a white binder.
This pigment is 100% natural.
Made in France.
History : like the red ochre RFL, which results from the cooking of the yellow ochre JCL, the red ochre RFLES is obtained by the cooking of the yellow ochre JFLES, which is the finest ochre, the most followed and the most loaded with iron oxide. The red ocher is also known under the name of "dark red ocher" and "red ocher of Vaucluse".
