2. Once you have mixed your ochre together it is ready to use. Dip your brush in the ochre and use it as you would use paint

3. Try using diﬀerent materials such as wood, paper and naturals to experiment with the ochre. As the ochre dries, it will form a bright paint on the surface of the paper.

Traditionally, ochre was mixed with a variety of substances to form a paint or coating to preserve Indigenous implements & weapons. Some of the substances traditionally used included sap, honey, egg, blood, saliva, animal fat and water. Click here for our video on how to mix ochre! © CleverPatch ™ 2020 – www.cleverpatch.com.au
