How I Make My Own Oil Paints. Making Painting from the Pigments. Cesar Santos vlog 096 

Just got sent here by Jazza. Massive props to you. Your paints look beautiful

HOW TO DIY- GLASS SLAB/ BASE DE VIDRIO PARA PREPARAR PINTURAS :) If you want to make a bigger/cheap/diy slab, you can buy a piece of glass(any size you want or need), and you can prepare it with a 60 grit sandpaper (sandpaper is basically a sheet of sillicon carbide). You need to sand the surface of the glass you are gonna work on until it became opaque (you can check by placing your hand under the glass, the less clear it gets the better). Be sure to cover your mouth and nose using a mask while sanding, if you use water through the process you can reduce the risk of breathing the glass particles. Enjoy your new slab. Si desea hacer una base de vidrio más grande / barata / diy, puede comprar un trozo de vidrio (del tamaño que desee o necesite), y puede prepararlo con un papel de lija de grano 60 (el papel de lija es básicamente una hoja de carburo de silicio). Debe lijar la superficie del vidrio en el que va a trabajar hasta que se vuelva opaco (puede verificar colocando su mano debajo del vidrio, cuanto menos claro sea, mejor). Asegúrese de cubrirse la boca y la nariz con una máscara mientras lija; si usa agua durante el proceso, puede reducir el riesgo de respirar las partículas de vidrio. Disfruta tu nueva base para preparar pintura.

Which type of muller would you recomend? A muller with a stubby handle, or a muller with a long handle?

👊

I liked Your video. Thank You! The only thing: some of the pigments, like Azurite and Malachite should not be ground too much and too finely, otherwise their crystalline surface will be destroyed and their colour brilliance, lost.

teşekkürler emeğine sağlık!!

Congratulations you're very talented! Chará, vc é brasileiro😂?

the masters never made their own paint , hell haft never completed a painting on their own. between apprentices and helpers all the "masters" did was have an idea

The T shirt is freaking me out. LOL I love it.

may i give you some advice how to load paint in tube way more faster, you just need to put paint in a wax paper then rool it up, make sure if it fits in to the tube after that you put that rolled paint in tube then simply squeze all of the paint with some round thing like glass bottle or something.

So basically you make your own Zorn pallete. Makes a lot of sense considering you seem to specialize in portraits. I think I would do the same. It’s the way the masters did it. Do what they did and you can relate to how they felt about their paintings.

Absolute dedication and perfectionism about one's craft right here!!! Huge respect Cesar! This video inspires me so much!!

Glad you had some background info on stabilisers - fillers is such a throw around term and people don't realise how and why they're added

Thanks, I needed to make fluroscent neon colours and had both the pigments and the oil but was worried if other binders are necessary, so now I can get on with it immediately without any further contemplation.

Just started Oil Painting. I’m very happy I’m taking the time learning from the Masters of the craft who have studied a great deal to also pass the knowledge on . Especially happy to find that people still care about true Quality that will stand the test of time. Hope I’ll be able to meet some of you great Artists in my lifetime.

There are good paint brands (even in student grade), and there are bad paints too. I have extensively read upon the subject and used some of them. They usually add extenders (they also call it fillers), namely calcium-carbonate (PW 18), and it is true that that the ratio of pigment is lower in those oil paints, yet calcium carbonate, chalk, or whatever, has a tendency not only to make the wet paint more workable for impasto or free brushwork, but also strengthens the paint film, of course all comes to the cost of being lighter in tone! But this is up to preference how one makes use of it. If one is following the "Old Master Technique" it is a more wiser choice to make your own paint and use as much putty as you need, or not at all, but mostly at the highlights. Rembrandt and Velázquez have used it, so, I think extenders might be tested in archival quality as well.

Thank you for sharing this process! Last year I started building my own frames, stretching and oil prepping my linen. It changed the quality of my pieces significantly. I look forward to creating my own paints as I use up my existing stash of oils. I know the result will be the same. Thank you for continually inspiring and pushing us further, and for sharing resources!

That`s so cool?! Creating your own oil colour :-))) I should give it a try ;-)

spent this week making pastel gauche watercolour paints, love making my own paint, the less we put add to the paint the better its. tfs

This feels like a breaking bad episode

Great, very inspiring, I also use my own colours, and I add bee wax , just few %, so oil and pigment do not separate after some time

An N95 mask may not be enough of a filter. Look into this. You know how toxic the powders are of some. Maybe a full on respirator.

cant you just store the tube of paint upside down to prevent paint sepration?

Amazing!! I've discovered your channel lately, and I'm so inspired by your art and by your attitude. Thanks for the great vids. By the way, if you can make someday some videos with key advices for sketching architecture and urban landscape, it would be great!!

What do you do for blues and yellows?

Jazza gave you a shout out in his most recent video!

Is calcium carbonate a stabilizer? Or is it an extender? Glossary, please. I'm a multimedia artist who is on the cusp of oil painting. Really appreciate this video. Thanks, Mr. S. ♥

The hand on that t shirt looks like you have 3rd hand

A GOOD WAY TO TUBE PAINTS IS TO GET A PIECE OF WAX PAPER OR DISPOSABLE PALETTE, OUT THE PAINTS ON THE EDGE OF THE PAPER, RAPPED IT UP AND PUT THE EDGE WITH THE PAINT IN THE OPENING OF THE TUBES. THEN TAKE A CYLYINDICAY OBJECT AND ROLLOVER THE WAX PAPER, THE ROLLING WILL SQUEEZE THE PAINT INTO THE TUBE AND THEN TAKE THE PALETTE KNIFE TO SCRAPE THE EXCESS AND PUT IT IN THE TUBE.

Is turpentine toxic?

Awesome, though the old masters probably had interns do all the grunt work

Awesome video‼︎ 素晴らしい動画ですね！とても深い学びがありました。貴方は才能に溢れています。これは誰にでも出来る事ではありません。

The way u speak and move your hands is art! You're a huge inspiration to me

Thank you for the wonderful video master. It was really informative. Your passion and dedication to the craft is what makes it so mesmerising. Loved your T shirt design. I hope you will bring more such stuff..

Hi sir i am santosh from India

How good is your timing Cesar! I just bought your portrait brush set from Rosemary and want to make my own paint. Very cool!

of course you need stabilizers for certains colors, as you have realized. Zecchi's Veneziano medium is probably wax based (usually no more than 2% of wax is required for weight of pigment), or you could use aluminium stearate. Either way the "only oil and pigment" it's part of a rethorical marketing concept of a well known brand. Many times additives are NECESSARY for a good color. Even Michael Harding that are handmade (gorgeous colors) use them when it's needed.

So you used just 4 color only for get the flesh effects?

Use at least a half face respirator with p100 cartridges-that dust mask will not 100% keep you from breathing in poison

But you then mix the paint with your own fixative right?

Dear Sant....you are excellent...Very much like your art work. Being junior artist I am requesting you to upload few more oil painting steps by step.....please

This sounds very therapeutic 😌 I've always wanted to try mixing my own paints. But what about making your own pigments? Are there any colors that you create the pigments for instead of buying the pigments?

I HAVE A BIGGGGGGGGGGG PROBLEM. Please help me, Cesar. I can´t buy a glass muller and I also can´t sand a piece of glass in this moment. What can I use instead of a glass muller?

Hii, please allow me to ask this maybe stupid question - can any of these be used as pigment a. fine clay b. cement c. lime/slaked lime. I am not worried about the color.

i wish there was some kind of electric paint mauler. That way i could easliy and cheaply get my own paints without the extra time investment. but they dont exist.

That's why the old masters had apprentice people to make the paint.Very interesting but I'll stick with Rembrandt & W& N.

You can grind too much if you are using mineral based pigments like lazurite or malachite. The smaller the pigment particles, the more it loses it's color. Just thought I would add that.

I could post a comment about this great oil making but I'll post one baout that shirt (that REALLY tricked dme thinking tou had 3 damn arms!!)

Boom Shankar man... love it... totally inspiring... Im a very poor artist, living in the middle of nowhere, self sustain me and my family... we live close to the land... to learn how to make my own paints is totally my bag... one day i will be able to afford fancy things... one day... love your stuff... more videos please

My vermilion pigment produces a yellow layer of slime when directly mixed with oil. Is it just bad pigment? I tried grinding it with stone instead of glass and it was a more beautiful paint but it still produced a little bit of yellow sweat. De mayerne does describe another way of grinding vermilion where it is first ground in water and put on chalk to dry, afterwards it is mixed with oil on the pallette. Has anyone tried this one? Is it more stable? It is the practice of the old masters and he describes how it may be put in a cup with some water on top so I guess it doesn't seperate from the oil or sweats a lot? Imma try it next time i need vermilion.

The paint you make yourself doesn't contain the body of tube paint. Maybe ad alluminium stearate?

What is that background sound? Is that supposed to be music? Makes the video unwatchable.

The video is very inspiring. I am waiting for my bigger glass muller and the empty tubes and then I can start making my own oil paints... Thanks for boosting our motivation for making our own paints.

Which pigment do you use for black and why?

what is. medium veneziano? is it the classic beeswax/turp. mixture?

Does linseed oil go rancid when mixed in pigment, afterwards? I felt like I heard a guy or two tell me so, but I wanted to ensure. If so, what oils can you use aside from linseed that doesn't go rancid?

Its even better if you go out and the pigment yourself from nature, i know a few artists who get pigments from rocks and earth. Once you learn its addictive.

Fantastic explanation of making oil paints from pigments. thank you

I made my own colors but i never I succeeded or i dont know how some colors in commercial brands have a buttery consistency. Is it a filler is it a binder i dont know. If anyone knows please share it. Thanks.

Thank you César for your generosity in sharing your knowledge

I thought you were gonna start from scratch, like from flowers/rocks

This is so inspiring. Thank you for your dedication to the medium. I’ll be trying this out today I’m so excited!

Is it only me of that shirt he got on is tripping me out lol

What about using safflower oil? At least for the whites/light colors?

Awesome way to connect more to your art. I will definitely try to make my own paint in the nearest future. Awesome video. Love it:)

Connection with the paint? Dude you need some medical attention LOL

CORDIAL SALUDOS Y BENDICIONES MUY BUENA SU EXPLICACION UNA PREGUNTA ESE POLVO NATURAL ES EL MISMO POLVO MINERAL? LO PUEDO ENVASAR EN VIDRIO? PORQUE TENGO UNOS QUE SON FABRICADOS EN BRASIL, LA MARCA ES BAYCOLOR.

make a tempera

The gentleman on the Alchemical arts channel is experimenting on creating pigments.

why dont u use blue??? is it a personal artistic choice or is it cuz blue is harder to make?

If you really want to connect with your paints, try making your own pigment.

I started using zecchi paints after you recommended them two years back! :D

I want to know how to make our own ink of different shades...... anyone have any idea?

Cesar, Why not a stone mortar and pestle?

which oil is better to use? What is your opinion about Poppy seed oil?

I wholeheartedly believe that the secrets of painting come with the familiarity of the materials and/or subjects

That shirt is just bugging me with how much he talks with his hands it looks like he has 3 arms.😆

calcium carbonate is just eggshells or white stone..

Thank you cesar for informations

This video makes me want to make my own oil paints and start painting again.

This man is a monster

All my favorites mix their own

Oil from Italy 🤣 classic thanks for the vid

well, when I heard I´ve been mixing for a couple of hours..." I knew this wasn't for me. :D I work on large abstract so I need to have paint more readily available. But I appreciate your perfectionism.

How do we grind pigments to just 2 microns?

Since when is CM Punk doing art?

que genio! grande cesar!!

Do we need the tube or will air tight jars work?

That t-shirt is deeply upsetting 😅😂😅

9:27 he looked back thinking the skelly was a person hehehe

Bravo!! What an amazing video

I could watch just the pigment mixing all day...

You are great, man. Rispeect!

Vermillion... yah your paintings are going to turn brown.

Foi dos vídeos que mais gostei...sou fã

Can I use pouring oil with pigments

Can i just use normal cooking oil😂😂

Perfect

That shirt is awesome 👌

Awesome, I have always wanted to try egg binder with pigment but I have never had the courage
