⭐ Q&A LIST BELOW:

💧 More info on the pigments?
🌿 these pigments are an exclusive collaboration between Choosing Keeping and a lovely pigment store called Saiun-do in Japan. I've talked about these pigments more extensively in my other recent videos as well.

💧Gloves & Respirator?
🌿 YES. I should 100000% be wearing gloves and a mask. If I wasn't filming I would have. However, the last time I wore gloves in a paintmaking video, the sound of the gloves were unpleasant to listen to to many people. I decided for the sake of the video to omit them. However, yes. Gloves are very necessary especially if you are not working with pigments specifically made for Nihonga paintings.

💧 Why add honey?
🌿 this step is optional but i prefer to add it since it gives the paints a nice texture. it will also preserve moisture.

💧 Filming Equipment?
🌿 Camera: Sony A7rIV
Lens: Sony - FE 24-105mm F4 G
Mic: Sennheiser MKE 600
Tripod: Slik Pro 500 DX

💧 Why don't the pigments fit back in after crushing them?
🌿 (Someone more knowledgeable, please correct me if I'm wrong) I'm assuming it's because the pigments were much more compact before being crushed. In its "rock" form, the powder is super compressed and tight which allows it to fit into the vials.

💧 Why make handmade paints rather than buying ones at the store?
🌿 It's kind of like cooking your own food. There are delicious meals you can buy from restaurants but food made from home is a different kind of delicious.

Any other questions?

There is such artistry from the filming to the editing to the way you hang your swatches to the way you showcased different actions with the making of the watercolors to even the end swatches of which palettes you were making up. Everything from start to finish of what you do is like a performance piece built into a meditative experience. Well done! I’ll be revisiting this video time and time again when I need a break from the noise.

For anyone watching this, be sure you read the description
where she talks about the importance of wearing gloves and a respirator to do this. Not a paper surgical mask...
....a respirator.
You should also do this away from where you eat or sleep, and away from upholstered furniture, with adequate ventilation.
Some pigments are harmless, but others are very, very dangerous and can be poisonous, carcinogenic or harmful to your brain or nervous system.
Even pigments that are pretty safe overall can be irritating to the lungs when ground up.

Safety first!

I can't imagine how long it must have taken to film and edit this video, great work!

[islanddryad]

I love that some colors go ‘cronch’ and ‘cranch’ when crushed

[actualreplyguy]

The tingliest “unintentional ASMR” video I’ve seen in a long while. Can’t imagine the patience and love for the craft it took to process all those tinctures.

[kristinataddei]

Love the "crunchy" sound of the pigments in the mortar and colors are sooo would make the worst artist, because I wouldn't be able to pick a color to start with let alone use any of would just stare at their beauty and not use

[AnnaReed]

I'm saving the 3 hour version for later so I'm glad I got a taste of it in this version 😍

[warwick]

im bringing back the fact that crushing the pigment sounds like chewing those little heart shaped candies you get on valentine's day

[marinapogorelova]

I can't express what a diligent and meticulous work has been done! I guess only a tru artist can make a piece of art even of the process of making paint. I feel nothing than admiration from this video. Just WOW.

[Cati.Colours]

I can't put into words how much I enjoy your videos! Not just the actual film quality, like watching this beautiful movie, but everything from the colors you make into paints, how delicate you are when opening the packages, the tools you use (I'm obsessed with those little spoons!) to the lighting, it's just so....magical! Thank you for making these.

⚠️ Those white shirtsleeves were living dangerously.

[MissBlackMetal]

OMG the black pigment is gorgeous!!! It's so beautifully dark 😍 and the dark blue at 10:48, ahhh... and the purple and dark red after that one, OMG these pigments are PERFECT!

And the dark green at 14:37 is the exact shade of green I've wanted to dye my hair for years 😍

[emanuela]

hey just wanted you to know that your videos really help my depression and anxiety, when i watch them my mind goes completely silent and i feel like im in a beautiful fairytale🥰❤️

[Kpracnva]

There is always something so incredibly graceful about this video that is not only satisfying to hear but also to watch. I think that’s why it’s called ASMR (autonomous sensor meridian response), it’s meant to be great for multiple senses, not just hearing.

[jaydenburns]

I would never have the money for the entire pigment set, but the blues, greens, purples, and grey scale colors are irresistibly pretty

Questions: 1. How often do you have to make paints? Like what is the "lifespan" of your paints?
2. Do you sell your paints or is this just a really relaxing hobby you do for yourself?

[sophiagee]

Can’t wait for the beautiful colors❤💛💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[Laurala]

The color gradients in these boxes are sublime. I truly can't express how satisfying and happy it made me when you opened each one and I saw the colors arranged inside. Might be a strange sentiment...but it made me smile. Thank you for the video!

[absforthk]

I love everything about this. Being able to just experience colour like this is such a treat!

[adeleik]

It's really enjoyable, I'm always so happy when you upload videos. The calmness and the compositions make it so appealing to the eyes. Thank you for your hard work ♡
