How to make natural pigments from rocks!

Показать описание

This is part 2 of a three-part series tutorial. In this video, I demonstrate how to make natural pigment from a piece of rock.
There are 5 basic steps:
1. Washing the collected sample
2. Drying
3. Grinding and sifting the rock
4. Washing the pigment
5. Drying and storing the pigment
I hope this video inspires you to make a connection with your local landscape. Because the landscape is not just a source of artistic inspiration, it is a source of art supplies too!

🟢 Edit: If you have been longing to learn how to make your own watercolor paints, I have exciting news! I just published my online course " The Watercolour Paintmaking Workshop".

Wow, I just realized that me and my best friend used to do this as kids. We'd crush small rocks with larger rocks and use the powder to draw on things.

One of my earliest memories as a kid was crushing rocks to make painting, of course I didn't know about binders and such. Since then I've been making dyes and pigments with rocks, plants, and mushrooms. Its absolutely addicting and fun!

I’m doing a really big investigation in Rembrandt for a school presentation. And I’m trying to make my ‘own’ Rembrandt painting. To do that I used this video, it helped me a LOT, thank you!!

As a total amateur watercolorist and someone who is excited about pigments and such, your channel has been a crazy random stumble.

Thank you for all your content. :)

I love this! You’ve inspired me to go look for pigments again. The area where I live has a lot of granite. It’s not easy to find softer rocks for grinding. Thank you for your insights!

LOVE it! I just returned from Nova Scotia with a "few" beautiful rocks and some sand stones. While there I also got reacquainted with my love of pastel painting. I'm home now and I can't wait to make some of my very own pigments and turn them into pastels! Many thanks!

Thank you for the tutorial! I usually just wait for the water to evaporate to get my pigment, but the coffee filter is a good idea if I want to do things a bit more quickly :)
