  1. okay, so my painting app has a name now... ochre.art

    I'm going to update this website as development progresses further and I get ready to open a private beta later this year

    Ochre is designed with useful tools and quality of life features that production artists and illustrators need in their daily workflows; as an artist myself, the status quo isn't providing this right now, and I want to fix this

    Ochre will be —

    - focused on pure digital painting
    - available on Windows, macOS and Linux
    - not dependent on the internet
    - forever without GenAI or similar
    - reasonably priced and free from subscriptions

  2. Ancient Finnish graves reveal how ochre signaled identity and social networks

    About 5,500 to 6,000 years ago, hunter-fisher-gatherers lived across what is now Finland. These communities, known to archaeologists as the Typical Comb Ware culture, built semi-subterranean houses, traveled along waterways, and relied on fishing, hunting, and small-scale plant use. They...

  3. #Ochre is somehow incredibly frustrating as a musical artist. Many of his tracks are a bit meandering, academic, or like someone just enjoys punching a few bits and pieces together on a #modularSynth without really evaporating in a story.

    And then you stumble across a track like Suspension.

    What a beautiful, evocative, unique piece of #electronicMusic. Dare I say even catchy. Truly wonderful.

  4. Early humans used ochre for advanced toolmaking at Blombos Cave, study finds

    A recent study led by researchers at SapienCE has revealed that ochre—previously considered primarily a symbolic pigment—played a crucial role in the production of sophisticated stone tools by early modern humans in Blombos Cave, South Africa, during the Middle Stone Age (MSA), between 90,000 and 70,000 years ago...

  5. 🥳 Very exciting topic! The #networks that we can identify in the Late #Palaeolithic are very dependent on mostly mineral resources transported from one area to another. Rarely it is possible to compare 2 different types such as #flint & #ochre as was done in this 👇🏼 paper.

  6. On a stroll near #MaslinsBeach yesterday we named this stretch Rocky Road Beach 😋 The dark rock is an iron-rich
    #ironstone
    Also nearby are deposits of brightly-coloured
    #ochre which was once traded from here right up to the Northern Territory

  9. The remains of the Ochre Factory, in Golden Valley, South Glos. It closed after the disastrous flood of 1969 (or so said the noticeboard).
    If you ever wondered what ochre looks like, the 2nd pic shows a nearby outcrop.

  10. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 3. I am fascinated by #paperArt. #Paper is one of the most versatile materials. It can be cut, shaped, coloured, embossed, and even altered to resemble fabric, embroidered and felted. In a special mixture with plaster of Paris, it becomes a modelling clay. So I can live out my love of #archaeological finds. Inspired by #neolithic #goddesses. Paperclay with hand-grinded ochre and ultramarine

  17. #November 26, 1906
    #OTD George Ellwanger, German-American #Nurseryman, died.

    He & Patrick Barry claimed their #Rochester, NY #Nursery was the largest in the world (650 acres). Charles Sprague Sargent dubbed Rochester the "City in a #Forest."

    George dotted the streets & parks with magnificent #Beech #Trees from Europe.

    George wrote,

    A Beech #Tree is always beautiful. In late #November, colors vary from rich #Roman #Ochre to deep-brown #Bronze & from pale rose-buff to lustrous, satiny #Gray.
