- Working with natural pigments is a transformative process that establishes a unifying relationship between you and the Earth.
This is part 1 of a three-part series tutorial. In this video, I will take you on a virtual journey into the wild to forage a variety of pigment sources that exist in our landscape.
Getting familiar with pigments in their wild habitat / local landscape and how to ethically forage them has the potential to profoundly shift your art practice.
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 for art supplies too!

reminds me of when my little sister and I would find flowers that fell from my mom’s plants, then add water and crush it with a rock to make colors
Good way to connect with nature and then commemorate it. 🌞Forage ethical and responsible 💗 thank you for adding that in.
Nice! Gonna find miself some rocks
Thank you for sharing, great information!
thank you for watching!
I'm thinking of when I'm old enough make a old fashion paint making bussesnes
New Subs here. Thank god I found your channel
i have been looking into natural make up and ordered some natural mineral pigments.......i came across your videos which i am mightly grateful for - i love foraging for herbs and have done for a few years now........everything is put out there for us to use - all natrual products - this is the way of our ancient ancestors...............and this video has inspired me to look deeper into all the natural things we can use use.......much love to you and yours............new sub here
Dear Wendy, thank you for your very kind words. I hope you find great joy in exploring your natural world.
@@JyotsnaPippal i certainly do.......our little garden of eden
This is so cool! I'll go out and combine some of my geology skills with your video information and see if I can't dig up something cool.
I come from Oklahoma, home to some of the reddest clay in the US. I can't wait to try making paint from it!
Lucky you ❤😊
Amazing! I am inspired.
I really lucky to find your channel . I aslo like to tarvel the when im big .But i couldnt find any pigment rocks near to my house
Wauw, that’s amazing... Yes, I find this really inspiring. Thank you! I’m pretty new to watercolor and am about to buy quite a lot of paint, but will be rethinking my choices now. And I have pretty much all that’s needed already, since I also love making my own cosmetics. So I definitely will be looking for pigments and something to use as a miller. I’m a bit sad we don’t have mountains/ rocks/ streams here in the North ofThe Netherlands. But I do have some rocks from trips and some mica. And I will look into what I can use from around here, I love how you can create your own paint using foraged materials! :)
thank you for your kind words. I don't live in a 'colour rich' geographical region either but once you become connected to your landscape you will find them. I have found some beautiful intense ochres here in Austria. We spend a lot of time in Nature and i have collected quite a range of colours from my local landscape. I stopped using commercial paints due to environmental concern. There is nothing you can't achieve with natural colours. They were the first paints mankind used and they are still around! best wishes and enjoy the process.
Hi Suhela! I also live in the Netherlands and paint with Earth Pigments :) . It is true that there are definitely better places to find really lovely pigments, but you can find them everywhere in fact! What can always be found, even in city areas (go to the edges of your city, where the city meets nature) you can find pieces of brick stones lying next to the street or on manmade sand paths. Brick stones come in different colours from shades of red, orange, yellow and even close to purple. They are easy to process into pigment as well. I also found an abandoned campfire and painted with the cole (black) and ashes (grey) from it. Good luck with your pigment search! Have a lovely day. Nicole
@@nicoleschyns Thanks! I never got around to reply-ing. But I am following your channel now as well and I love to see how you make your own paints and how they work on your canvasses! I did collect some rocks and clay nearby and also searched for pretty blue shells on the beach. Haven't gotten around to working with them, but hoping to do this now. Ill
hop to your own channel to reply and ask about your pigments :D
Thanks from Brasil!! Great work!!
Oh my god! I just loved ur work! Awesome! Thank u so much
This is such a beautiful video! The philosophy is pure tranquility!
Your attemp gave me an exicetement, having the idea that i can make my own paints.
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable experience.
Best Regards.
Glad to hear that. thank you.
Wow amazaing you did.me to wanna do this and i have collacted some nautral pihments 😊
Really cool!
Definitely going to make paint now!
will love to see your results :-). cheers
Thank you so much, been wanting to experiment with my own natural pigments to try painting with.. very inspired to get out and start looking!
thank you for your kind words!
Have you tried beautyberry from Florida uts deep purple in colour. Intriguing video!!
That iron oxide was magnificent! :-)
When I was a kid we used to dig in the dirt and I found red dirt, I will definitely be going back to gather some!
Thank you!
Very inspired. Thank you
Thank you
love your account! so inspiring
thank you for stopping by Ellen!
I would love to see a resource for many available natural pigment sources! I know that some plants need stabilizers and the colors react differently depending on what you are using- for example oak galls can make a great black ink as well as violets for color! But to do things like dye wool- you need stabilizers.
I'm so inspired by you. I'm planning to make my own watercolor. 🥺💗
Beautiful video, Joytsna! (I'd suggest to put a link to the end screen and description to the other parts of the series because YT suggest other people's videos after while people might want to watch your videos).
Can you make a pigment from those papery pinecones?
Pine cones are rich in tannin, so one can easily isolate lake pigments from those.
I love clay
I have mobility issues, can I get and use some of the pigments from the hardware store. Cheers!
Time to take some coal after the cookout is done
Also I have a question can you make pigments and paints out of flowers ?
I am in east texas I think cornflower and mexican petunias and rose will stain paper but what can i forage to do make ink.... how you get a green color I tried grass and bamboo but nothing worked....i love your videos and cant wait to try eggshells
Have u tried spirulina?
Wait so I can make some paint for free from backyard soil I got clay rich soil up in there
I live in the southern half of Canada, and I don’t have access to things I see many European artists use. And honestly, I’m not sure where to begin looking. I’m unsure of what will work, and don’t wish to ruin good vessels and materials with a failed attempt at making paints or pigments.
do you have to mix it with anything in order to bind and preserve the color ?
Lovely art! I'm curious to know if you think it's a decent rule of thumb to say that most of these pigments from rocks are coming from sedimentary or metamorphic formations?
Many beautiful iron oxides are from volcanic (or sedimentary) rocks that weathered in tropical climates.
very interesting. Im into scale modeling and we use alot of dry pigments. aswell as paints of all sorts. would be amasing if i could paint a tank for example out of foraged materials. That would make me stand out in the youtube jungle aswell =)
Hey! I would love to learn more about making pigments from plants. Is it possible to get a variety of pigments from plants as you would form Earth based materials like rocks and soil? Thank you! :D
yes, you can get a rainbow palette from plants too. I have an online class on this topic lostincolours.teachable.com/p/botanical-lake-pigments.
What are your top favorite colors and what are they made from
any colour of ochre which are made of oxides of iron and pigments extracted from cones and walnuts.
How to preserve the paintings from fungal attack over time?
In one of her videos, she talks about using gum Arabic and honey for the binder and then a few drops of clove oil (can be purchased at a variety of stores) to prevent mold and growth.
Is it safe I want to do this but I'm scared of being poisoned in the grinding process? Thanks
You must wear a NIOSH mask for making any kind of pigments. If you are scared of grinding and sifting, then opt for making lake pigments. I have in-depth courses on all these topics where I talk separately about the foraging and pigment-making process. lostincolours.teachable.com/
@@JyotsnaPippal thank you 😊
How do u know that it's not some dried animal poop
Hallo, stellen Sie auch blaue und grüne Farbtöne selbst her? Liebe Grüße :)
Ja, schon aber nur mit Pflanzen. Weil ich habe keine Blau/grün gefärbten Steine order Erde gefunden.
@@JyotsnaPippal Ok, alles klar. Vielen Dank, dass Sie mir geantwortet haben! :) Ihr Kanal ist toll!
Is there a video where you show how much gum Arabic powder and honey is necessary to make a binding solution? This seems to be the only source of information I’m having no luck finding. Also, is there a video on how to extract pigment from foliage and nuts or berries?
Hi Jenn, I have a course on watercolor paintmaking where you can get all the information. If it interests you then here is the link lostincolours.teachable.com/p/the-watercolor-paintmaking-workshop
Cheers
Can pigment be extracted from quartz to make paint?
Probably not, but it’d be fun to try
