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".
🟢 For further details kindly follow the link below.
☑️ lostincolours....
‘The Watercolour Paint-making Workshop’ is for anyone who is curious, interested, and self-motivated in exploring creative possibilities of understanding the ancient and traditional art of making paints in a simple ‘do-it-yourself’ approach. No prior experience is required to enroll in this class.
🟢 You will have lifetime access to this course and can do it at your own pace.

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!!

Hi Nina, I would love to hear more about your investigation, as I am myself doing some research on this topic too.

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. :)

@jzjndnx2 2 года назад

So hello should I add water or oil to the pigment to be able to use it?

@violettracey 2 года назад

@@jzjndnx2 Hi I just started researching this stuff and don’t know much, but I would search for tutorials on making a paint base. There are recipes on RU-vid for making a generic watercolor base that you can add any pigment too, then let dry and you have watercolor. I assume there would be other generic paint bases for different types of paint. I hope this helps!

@CFCBobbi2008 4 года назад

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!

Hi Jenny! thank you for your kind words! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed watching the video! Have a great day!

@melinaruegg3380 4 года назад

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 :)

@JyotsnaPippal 4 года назад

I wait for the water to evaporate too but for this tutorial, I used a coffee filter. I prefer saving resources :-)

@jakcruthers699 2 года назад

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!

It’s a great tutorial! Love it! In the US getting rocks from a National Park in the US is illegal. Just don’t want you to get in trouble or get others in trouble for collecting on National Park lands in the US.

In the neighborhood where I am living I recently discovered the remains of prehistoric red ocher mining. It’s absolutely amazing. I found a millstone, grinding stones, and stones that were used for shopping and carving the Red and yellow ocher stones down to smaller chunks where they could be ground up. I have shown pictures to an archaeologist and they are excited and want to come over and have a look. I also found a stone spearpoint nearby. It’s amazing some of the things you can find and how old this practice is

@watrgrl2 2 года назад

Absolutely loved this! I am an artist and I absolutely love exploring the process of making my own pigments to use in paint. I want to explore making watercolor paint but I need to study the liquid additives more. I haven’t seen or read anything that gives actual amounts in grams or milliliter’s so that I have a base point from which to start experimenting. I do know that some pigments will require different proportions of an additive due to more or less absorptive properties and unless you have a degree in geology you can only make guesses about what kind of rock you find to use and you cannot know it’s absolute mineral content without an expensive professional assay so it will end up being an experiment in trial and error ultimately . Hopefully I can find something that at least gives me a basic general formula to start with. Anyone out there that knows of a formula or a book or website that gives good instruction in mixing paints I would love to know.

Hi there, I just watched this video last night. it was fun to watch! I am curious, Have you made pigments from plants or leaves? Do they dry out and mix well?

@JyotsnaPippal 8 месяцев назад

Certainly! Thank you, I've created numerous pigments using plants and leaves. They blend seamlessly and exhibit rich pigmentation. Additionally, I've posted some videos on this subject.

Almost my entire neighborhood soil is filled with clay and extremely pigmented rocks ,we live near a mine and sometimes you can even hear sirens before feeling the shake and sound of explosions! But I think I’ll start taking advantage of all these rocks!

@AmazingRebel23 3 года назад

I was just walking around a beach with my family today which was used to dump mining garbage in the 60's, and I think I found a mica rock! It was extremely hard to find any videos or articles discussing how to break the pigments from the rock instead of how to USE the produced mica, or how the mica mining industry uses child labour. People really don't want to figure out the solution to buying slave-mined mica I suppose, and want to complain about it instead lol! Thanks for the video, it was informative!

@robhi3518 Год назад

Super great content and it's a pleasure listening to your voice, Thank you so much, spot on. Greetings from western Australia, I did a stone wall out of granite and will just use small amounts of cement to bind the rocks and make them even more structural however, i want to use your technique to colour cement with stones from the land. 💛🌻

@JyotsnaPippal Год назад

Hello Robhi, I greatly appreciate your thoughtful compliments. Australia holds a unique place in my heart, having been my home for an entire decade plus one year. During my time there, I had the opportunity to explore some of the adjacent areas near Perth, which are renowned for their stunning colours. I lived on the East Coast. Have a ripper weekend🙂🙏

Fascinating process, thank you for sharing! I keep looking at some natural objects and keep thinking whether they can be used in paint making.

@paleogeology9554 2 года назад

As a geologist naturally im around rocks everyday. One material I found THAT MAKES AWESOME PIGMENT is one particular type Red Rhyolite that I discovered 3 years ago. Its soft enough to grind into a powder, once ground down and made into a natural paint by adding animal fat it is almost impossible to get off so as a paint its PERFECT! If you need any of this rhyolite feel free to message me

@susanfromgrossepoint 3 года назад

Wonderful! So enjoyed watching this!

@SS_DT 3 года назад

So cool! You did a great job explaining the process. As an aside for those rock hunting: make sure any parks you check out are okay with the rocks leaving with you! In many places it’s illegal or considered disrespectful to local culture. This is to respect the land and to make sure things remain where they naturally occur for the future historical record. A small way to do your part! :)

@JyotsnaPippal 3 года назад

Thank you and that is indeed a valid point worth mentioning. I will highlight that in my description.

I'm in love with Natural pigments! A doubt: What would u use as a 'binder' for ur pigments to bind to a cotton fabric 🤔 I'm here from India, and I find wideee range of plant based pigments! And rock pigments 😄 they differ for literally each meter! Gotta do some fun research! Tq for ur insight!

Cool. How many grams of pigment is required for a canvas of 1×1 m? It feels like one coffeecup. But that is not grams... alright I can figure it out. I guess you add rocks in a bowl, and this will show you how much you get. Great upload thx!

Does this work the same for plants and flowers/berries? I’m just confused when other tutorials mention binders and precipitation and aluminum salt and all that and i’m so confused because you made this look so simple compared to everyone else lmao 😭
