you would have to heat water until boiling and leave ochre in for several weeks
Water is typically added to ochre to create a paint or pigment. However, other liquids such as oil or vinegar can also be used to create different types of ochre mixtures.

To mix ochre and water, first, take the desired amount of dry ochre powder and place it in a container. Gradually add water while stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, consistent paste or slurry. Adjust the water quantity to reach the desired thickness or color intensity. Ensure that all the powder is fully incorporated for a uniform mixture.
Traditional Aboriginal paint made from red ochre and grease is considered a mechanical mixture. In this case, the red ochre particles are suspended in the grease, but they do not dissolve in it, which distinguishes a mechanical mixture from a solution. The components retain their individual properties and can be separated physically. Thus, it is not a suspension in the scientific sense, as the ochre does not remain uniformly distributed in the grease over time.

Ochre is mixed with water so the paint becomes wet and paintable.

Liquid mixed with ochre can vary, but commonly water, oil, or egg are used to create paint or pigment. Water is often used for watercolor painting, oil for oil painting, and egg (as in egg tempera) for traditional painting techniques.
