Glad to see that you named your chickens. My grandparents were farmers and raised chickens. If Grandpa wouldn't let you name "your" chicken, that was a warning.

[kimieatsu]

I like that you showed us how to make watercolor binder. I’ve been thinking of recycling some of my eyeshadow palettes into water color palettes.

[MiraByler]

Look at this chemist whipping up some crayons!! This is SO COOL!!!

[lunabelletheinsane]

I love how handling the raw egg is a problem for Rae - lmao. As a baker, I sepereratte yolks from whites with my hands all the time, so that's a non issue for me, but I get that it's hard for some people!

[karenroszel]

Love the chickens. The walnut ink will be less of a chore and darker if you can get your hands on the green husks the nuts grow in. But use rubber gloves! You find out really quickly how strong the color is, and how permanent. Like everybody else, I was envious of the fun you were having.

[amandajones]

THANK YOU for making the distinction between tempera and tempura!!! I see that error everywhere, and it drives me nuts!!

[jojothibodeau]

Thanks!🌈Fun video Idea! Make a full set of paints (whatever your prefered type, i.e. acrylic, watercolor...)from organics, plants, flowers, foods, etc... no cheating...mixing 2 made colors to get another, has to be something orange, green, purple to get that color naturally.

My only critique for the watercolor binder is that when i see them being made, all the bits are done separately as certain pigments dont need equal amounts of everything. Keeping them separate makes it easier to edit the mix if you have to since you control how much of each goes into the initial mix.

Some pigments dont need as much honey as other's, while some colors need more glycerine since they dont naturally flow very much.

(Also side note: use a palette knife to do an initial mix of the pigment with the binder. Itll make mulling much quicker since all the pigment should have a little bit of binder on them already instead of just dropping the muller directly on the dry pigment and trying to mix and mull that way)

(Also for walnut ink- you can use alum as a salt for the ink to bind to to make a pigment ink which should last longer than just straight ink- check out 'lake pigment' process videos. It should also give a stronger color since it encourages color to be pulled from the dye material)

This video nourished my soul, thank you, Rae. It's exactly what I needed right now. ❤

9:15 Fun fact, squirrels LOVE black walnuts. They leave bits of shell ALL over outside my house. It stains the concrete but it's worth it because squirrels are so cute! 🥰

[skeletal]

5:40 rae you should add vinegar to the egg mixture it prevents the egg yolk from rotting

[stoklerz]

I loved the color that you got from both the egg tempera paint and the walnut ink. So natural and warm. They would look great together!

[geraldaumiller]

I love how you don't just pop out a video everyday and take the time to really work on each video. It really shows!

[LunarKnight]

About half of the watercolors I use right now are handmade from Etsy. You get such fascinating colors and the quality of the shops I purchase from are really good. I absolutely love what I buy from Etsy.

[lindsayf]

I mix acrylic sometimes, but am not an artist, and I was shocked by the amount of medium you used and questioned myself for a minute... until you tried to paint 🤣 great first attempt though!

I just discovered your channel a few months ago. I dont want to go into a long detailed story, but in June of 2020 I had knee replacement surgery. I had severe complication from the doctor during the surgery and now I am disabled and have been in severe pain ever since. Last year I discovered art therapy. I started painting river rocks and stepping stones. Recently have tried watercolors and I’ve started keeping an art journal. Art therapy has helped me so much with my pain management, depression, and anxiety. Thank you for your channel. I have a Walmart/TEMU kind of budget and I’ve been able to have fun being creative despite not have the best quality supplies. I’m still going through both channels and watching your videos. Thanks again!

[KialayaKreations]

I have already tried out making watercolours myself and I find it incredibly therapeutic and relaxing to make. Its great to make specific colours you want, specially when you want really shiny mica gorgeous colours.

[christineg]

This was a fun video to watch! You can definitely layer acrylic just fine. one of my favorite art teachers used to use acrylic paints like watercolors, with a series of thin washes to build up to the color she wanted, and her work was always stunning.

Also, if you're feeling adventurous, the walnut hulls can also be used to dye fabric. And because of all the tannins involved, you don't need to add an extra mordant like you do with most natural dyes. Basically, dip your fabric in your filtered liquid after you've extracted the hulls and boil until it's as dark as you'd like. Remove from the dyebath, rinse, and you're good to go.

[zaraheart]

The amount of time, dedication, research! That went into this is amazing. You never fail to come through for us

[tutaart]

I wish you could experiment with creating metallic watercolors

[Cationna]

Fun fact: walnut dye is how people used to colour their hair :) (and it's still a common ingredient in treatments tonkeep up the shade)
