I tried making watercolours from scratch and this is the result

I used a plant pigment called guado (idk the English name for that sorry). The pics don't do it justice but it makes a very nice deep blue. It was used for centuries as a blue dye all over Europe and this tiny place in my region decided to plant it again to make natural colours. They have many more pigments from different natural sources and once I get the watercolour recipe perfect I'm going to get more

In this video I show how to extract dye from the flower petals of the Delphinium plant and create a lake pigment.

I 'cooked' the flower petals in 500ml of water and then sieved them. Stirred in 10gr of Alum and 5gr of Bicarbonate, the water became quite clear so I got most pigment out and it seems it's a good ratio.

time travel idea

flex on renaissance painters with epic (synthetic) ultramarine pigment & exchange it for the same weight of (real) gold

on the other hand. cavemen would be delighted we still use the same sienna and umber! dirt enjoyer 🤝 dirt enjoyer

First one I think I'm happy with. Now to let it cure out of the dog's reach and then seal it. Beet, saffron, and blueberry in egg tempera. A touch of madrone, too.

I'm proud of this handmade watercolor palette. I experimented with a lot a pigments from various sources to create the strongest natural earth colors I could. They're very satisfying to paint with.

I usually use watercolors in mixed media and in my illustrations, but I wanted to try this palette out all by itself. Since these are natural earth pigments, it's basically a palette of browns, (and one gray). It makes painting a subject and interesting challenge with no blues or greens.

*comes up from rabbit hole*

*takes a deep breath*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, practically every single website on making all natural wood stain or paint is either “Oh, yeah, you can totally stain with beets and berries no sweat it’s cool!” or “Dude it’s all fugitive and will fade in a day don’t waste your time”.

I have found two - TWO! - that have gone “You can use these, but they fade without a mordant, so you have to use one of those. Mordants are a dying thing we’re not going to go into here.”

...

Thanks, guys.

And then 96% of the dyers are either “Oh, yeah, you can totally dye with beets and berries no sweat it’s cool!” or “Dude it’s all fugitive and will fade in a day don’t waste your time”.

Mordant? What’s a mordant?

If you want to learn about mordants you have to specifically search for them, rather than natural dyes, and most sites are “Mordant is from French, it helps the colour bind to your fabric, here, have a list of the common ones” with little if any information on how to choose a mordant for your particular dye.

You wanna know which mordant will keep your beet dye from fading to white by sun up tomorrow? You have to specifically search of a mordant for beet dye. Or berries. Or whatever. And then sit there and wonder if the person who wrote the article you’re reading is right, or if it’s the person who says these dyes don’t need a mordant, or if it’s the person who says these dyes never work period, and then there’s the question of if it’s even relevant to you because.

You’re.

Making.

Stains.

And.

Paints.

Not.

Dyeing.

Fabric!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
