But I feel sad for people who make living selling watercolors.

@zeldacheri 5 лет назад

@@moonlightgator541 I bet less than 2% of people who watch these videos will actually go to the expense and bother of making their own watercolors, especially when you can easily end up making more than enough of a color to last several lifetimes! What's great about watching the process is that gives people a much greater appreciation for handmade watercolors and a deeper understanding of what goes into the paints (binder ingredients) and how the different colors are made (single pigment vs. combinations of pigments).

@sugarbaby1954 5 лет назад

@@zeldacheri 100% agree with you, most have no idea how it's made, and your so on about appreciating the process. Besides that she loves doing it. What is better than that! Isn't that what You Tube is all about, doing what you love and sharing it with others. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 💖🙋‍♀️

@valeriemarkello9327 4 года назад

@@moonlightgator541 you shouldn't feel bad. I've seen people sell $500 watercolor palettes at $10 cost their pocket. It would be nice to see someone come out with a lower price point palette that everyone can afford and enjoy!

@lilredhead17 5 лет назад

hi! Fellow paint maker here. First of all: Im already a fan of these series! Making paints is just so relaxing. Secondly, you can prevent the shrinking of drying pans for some part. When you mull the paint longer it'll become more paste-like, so a bit more firm. When it reaches this point and you pour it into pans it will shrink less! it's not 100% foul proof, but it worked for me in the past

@arleebean 5 лет назад

Ah, that’s such a fantastic idea! I had definitely noticed that the paint becomes thicker the longer it’s out on the slab, but I hadn’t connected that to less shrinking! Thank you so much for the tip!

@twycross3 5 лет назад

Do you make oil paints? I've been trying to find some phthalo blue pigment and can't seem to find it. Have you tried making watercolors out of woad?

@Erdhenne 4 года назад

You can also let the paint sit even longer on the slab once your done mulling. Water will evaporate really, really slow. On some days I mull my paint in the morning and let it sit before I go to bed again. It's still moist enough to give it in pans. But you should go and see after the paint every few hours and fold them with the palette knife while letting them sit.

@sutil5078 4 года назад

that what I was thinking twycross, Arleebean though I am not an expert in this, why not leaving it on that glass enough time so it have more consistency or thikness, measure the time, which will vary depending on the room temp., and humidity level ... then the number of refilling will go down.. how about plant based paint.. would it be of same quality and same procedure? thanks

@francescachiriboga7246 4 года назад

@@sutil5078 I am making plant-based pigments and the color ends up being similar to earth pigments but they are less opaque. It is the same procedure in making the watercolors though.

@vinsueringamer2388 5 лет назад

May I request that you make a video on how you prepare all the materials to make this, like the binder and what would be the recommended tool, along with some recommendations from the pigment to binder ratio

Aahhhh! I love your color selection at the end of the video. You don't tend to see a lot of the modern colors in handmade paints and you have some of my favorites 😍 also thanks so much for talking about Earth Pigments. I wanted to get some pigments from them when I thought I could make my own paints and couldn't find any information/reviews. Can't wait to see what you make with these, and I'd love to try our some of them if you do decide to sell then :)

@aliceblanchette1291 5 лет назад

@youshimimi 5 лет назад

So interesting! Although I won't be making my own, this was very nice to watch. My only question is about their lightfastness. Do you know how lightfast they will be while making them? Can you influence it somehow?

@arleebean 5 лет назад

youshimimi I’m running some lightfastness tests now, so I’ll be able to report that info in a future video!! Thanks so much for asking. ❤️❤️

@rioreason 5 лет назад

youshimimi youshimimi I would have to guess it depends on the pigment and how the elements of the powdered materials react to that exposure to sunlight. For example, in gemstone based pigments: amethyst has a tendency to lose color when exposed to sunlight, and eventually yellow. Lapis lazuli (ultramarine blue) also has a tendency to fade after extended exposure. Unless there’s some kind of chemical reaction during mulling, the lightfastness should directly correlate to how well the original material holds up to sunlight.

Not something I'll try myself but I found it fascinating. The comments about pouring and the mulling characteristics of the various pigments was very interesting to me. And the pigments looked lovely. Looking forward to seeing more of this from you. Thanks Arleesha.

@Dan.B.Artist 5 лет назад

It's nice to see another artist join the journey of paint making. PS it consumes you!!! I love making paint it's definetly helped me understand and appreciate watercolours more. In terms of trouble shooting the bad news is apart from a few simple problems most difficulties with it can only be answered by practice/experience. It's hard to explain but you get to a point where you can feel if the paint is right/wrong a bit like when cooking and you know whether your food is cooked right. I love the colours you've made and I'm glad that youre enjoying this process. A little note to those saying about disclosing recipes etc, whether it's a commercial brand or an artisan each paint maker has their own binder which contributes to the behaviour and quality of the paint. Every handmade brand is different and has it's own signature. We don't want to give away our signature, as Arleesha says it's taken her a lot of time and practice to get to her stage, it has taken even longer for a those of us who sell our paints to get our formulas right. It takes a lot of hard work, time, trial & error and money to get there. Why would we let others jump the line and prosper from our hard work?

@weronoyume 5 лет назад

Oh wow you did great! I love watching people making paints! 😍 The results look so good! When I was in art school my teacher told us how to make watercolours and oil paints ( which is much easier ), of course it's not that she is a paintmaker, she is a restorer and to restore old painting she makes paints herself. Since she knows about chemistry sometimes she adds stuff she has in the lab into the watercolour binder I don't know what I don't remember, but it was so interesting! It's a lot of work, but it's so relaxing and satisfying! I would love to see more videos like this! 😍 ( She also uses a lot of Kremer stuff )

This has been a huge help for me.. I am an artist but I enjoy the supplies almost more than the art. I found a mini mulling kit in some local surplus store and really have no clue what I’m doing. I just know I wanted to make colors I want, but never see. I knew I would run out of the binder in the kit eventually and so your videos have been a great help! Thank you!

I love that youre going on this journey and how open and detailed you are planning on being, since making watercolour paints is really interesting to me (even though i won't be able to do it for a few more years, being a broke student living in a small rented flat).

As a pharmacist with compounding experience, I can tell you... it would be much easier (and the paint would be more consistent and uniform throughout) if you placed your powders in a mortar and pestle and triturated, or ground, the powders together. At that point, you can dump the powders onto the glass and make a little well in the center. Then, you’ll want to combine your liquids in another bowl or measuring cup or whatever you have around... and slowly add it to the well you made in the powder. While adding the liquid, use a spatula to mix and fold between each pour.

I was looking for more easy ways, but when I came across this I noticed I don't have any of that stuff. So I was about to close it out but this is super relaxing. It's the sound of your voice and how it looks!
