Prussian Blue - Make it then Paint it

In this video, we show you how to make Prussian Blue from potassium ferrocyanide, and ferric chloride. Prussian blue is a pigment that was used by Van Gogh. We also show you how to paint with it!

Ferrocyanide compounds are not toxic, and are actually used in many food products.

Warning: Performing experiments such as these, has been known to cause humans to spend more time learning science, and less time with video games and social media. Use gloves and goggles. Ferric chloride is harmful if swallowed.

Awesome! I would like to give this a go one day. I was thinking of showing this demo to my students!

Your videos are great; they’ve inspired me to upload more!

Cheers for Australia
