[@rhondaadams4013]

I love you videos! I love learning things, and research a lot of stuff, all the time, and absolutely love the information you give about pigments now that I am back into art. Thank you!

There are ochre locations throughout France, but the ones we cover are commercial operations. You may be able to find what you are looking for by consulting this website: www.mindat.org/search.php?search=france

Does green ball clay can be used as an ochre? Or it must be bisque before?

[@RublevColours]

Green ball clay can be used as a pigment in paint, but it has very weak tinting.

Are there no ocres to be found in America? We have red canyons.

There are ochers in the U.S. We will go there in a future video.
