Hi Laurens!!!! My precious friend!!! I have to message you. No coincidence that I just saw your video (first I’ve been able to see in awhile). I haven’t felt well enough to paint at all but something amazing & miraculous has happened. Just like the topic of these pigments, “The holy trinity…” THE Holy Trinity (I guess best way to describe my besties & true gems) have turned my dying to living!!!!! It may not make sense to others reading this, but “HELLO YOU BEAUTIFUL GEMS I haven’t met yet 😆👋🏼! Oh I hope and pray any and all lost or dead dreams come alive as well…and turn all frowns upside down 😁.” Oh and Lauren’s, just two days who I was actually able to begin painting-well swatching-paints that just so happen to be YOURS!!! I know I could have just sent a private message but this video, and the timing of it….you know me, I long for as many people to be extravagantly blessed & this exactly what I KNOW will happen as some read this. And wow those colors are amazing and your mummy brown comments….😂
Dawn it’s so good to read a message from you again! I don’t mind it’s not private, it makes me happy to read that you have been able to start with paint again! 🙏 I hope the amazing miraculous happening keeps on going 🥰 I’m really happy that you send the comment ☺️
Thank you so much! It means a lot!! Well I'm very grateful for everyone who's joining this community here and we're growing slow but steady! Can't complain :)
I've long since wondered why green is the colour of poison, so thank you for answering my question. Very interesting video, I love the background music and the visuals of mixing the pigment.
Paris Green also found use as a blue coloring agent in fireworks as far as the 1990s in some places. In fact, some pyrotechnic hobbyists still use it in small amounts today because it gives a deeper, more vivd blue than can be easily achieved with other coloring agents. I have 2lbs I bought for that purpose, although I think I'll perpetually be putting that particular use off. 😅 Neat video and cool channel!
Fascinating stuff! I love how the mummy brown gets a reddish hue when drying. Hopefully no dead people dust boogers were created in the making of this video! 😂🤣😂 You cracked me up with that one!
I found Paris Green to have a unique drying shift when testing (mine is W&N's commercial Emerald Green paint from the 1950s). Not the usual hue shift, but a marked opacity shift. Swatched over a black line it looks very opaque when wet, but becomes semi-transparent when dry. I also tested mixing with Cadmium Yellow (with Cadmium Yellow Hue mix ss a control). The reaction with Cadmium Yellow happens quickly but slowly increases over days. A wash of the mixed paint develops a brown border. Left in the mixing palette, the dried mix changes from slightly brown to grey-black over days to weeks.
@@dirtyblueshop It was only a tiny amount that I used, but the palette has been sitting on my table for months as I'm not sure how to clean it out 😂 Maybe wipe with a damp tissue, tie it up in a plastic bag and put it with regular trash?? Also I'm not sure if it is just the particular formulation that I have, but I found it really difficult to rewet (would say similar difficulty to Viridian).
Always thought-provoking. And I'm a sucker for any video on banned pigments. I love PY150 as my only yellow on my palette. One of the first 3 artist grade paints I ever bought, and it was from Golden's QoR line. (I love chasing sprinting paints.) I adore the delicate, almost neon light yellow you can achieve and the deep, murky mustard yellow on the other end. Fantastic mixing yellow. Perfectly versatile. The PY153 makes a nice substitute for the NY20 too, though.
PY150 is a very versatile and lovely color which is often used as an Indian Yellow hue. The mustard mass tone is also very similar to how the genuine thing looks dried. A reason why I offer both in my line of paint ;)
-"And I'm a sucker for any video on banned pigments."- I think there is some of that in myself, but not limited to the videos. I could pass over a pigment, then tell me it's banned, and all of a sudden I'm interested.
Haha tbh, I would have the same! There’s a lot of unstable reds, yellows, blues.. you name it. Not buying them now because of the lack of stability/lightfastness.. but when I hear one of those will stop being produced 🫣🥲
Mooie samenvatting van drie van je top pigmenten, Laurens. Alledrie even bijzonder. En de wetenswaardigheden errond zijn even interessant, ook in herhaling.
Dankjewel Heidi! Ik had mn oude (losse) video's al aangepast maar ik merk dat het heruploaden soms beter werkt. Ik ga wel bezig met nieuwe nieuwe versies ;)
Incredibly interesting video, thank you for sharing these gems from your collection with us! Not gonna lie, I really like the Paris Green. I'm sure I would have bought things in that color .. 😆
Thank you so much! I'm actually working on a set of (very accurate) hues for these, not sure how/when to release them.. maybe a higher YT subscription tier ?
So my favorite shade of yellow used to be made with dried cow's diarrhea... It was literally what my 4-H friends and I referred to as "calf scours yellow"... Well that's a fun fact I'll be passing along! Very cool! And really glad they don't intentionally give cattle chronic stomach upset in the name of art. I love Indian Yellow, but not if it's made at the expense of an animal's quality of life.
The vikings and other medieval Europeans used to boil cow's urine to get ammonia for dying and washing clothes. Human urine was used in tanneries for making leather and in India they still use animal urine or...the other for tanning leather, I saw that bit on a documentary but I can't remember it well.
Mummy brown, art imitating life. Most household dust is primarily made of dead skin cells, and after writing that I started sneezing, and the smell is likely the flowers and herbs they stuffed inside the bodies during mummification.
Have you ever thought of making some paint out of authentic Maya Blue? The pigment is still developed as historically accurate as it can be in Yucatan, Mexico
@@dirtyblueshopThat would be amazing! I have some cause I live relatively close to where is made but have no experience in paint making, I'll keep an eye out for that video
@@dirtyblueshop It's a trick, don't fall for it Laurens. You want to make a video on Mayan Red PR287. No, not because I have a pre-order and long to see it being mulled, in slow motion, with a spaghetti western sound track playing. Okay, as a compromise you can do the Mayans: red, blue, and what ever other colors they had.
@@dirtyblueshop Yes, you are correct. The first one I checked, the thumbnail looked Mayan red, and I see my earlier comment, "Dang... I missed it." "Making paint live again!" is the video title.
It contains a lot of copper compounds MSDS from @kremerpigments: H302: Harmful if swallowed. H319: Causes serious eye irritation. H332: Harmful if inhaled. H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
Cobalt, azo and cadmium’s are the same correct? Fine for use in watercolour but don’t consume them in any way and if you’re working with the pigment use the proper ppe & be sure to dispose of your water correctly
5:28 You could give a pan of Paris Green away as part of a contest, and still keep to your claim of not selling it. Okay... maybe just a half pan then.
Knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Under the table you must go Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh If I catch you bending I'll saw your legs right off Knees up, knees up don't get the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown
In how they used to do this, I fully agree with that! I think everyone nowadays does.. hopefully. The very reason I won't sell any of it as paint. That having said, I was commissioned to make new paint out of the ashes of a lost father. I've hared the process in a video on my channel (with permission). As part of the grieving process it's different than what I show in this video

Mooie samenvatting van drie van je top pigmenten, Laurens.

Maybe even worse, it's a ball of dried cows urine.. I noticed I didn't make that clear in the video, but now you know!
@@dirtyblueshop holy smokes! That must've required a lot of urine. Imagine being the person whose job it was to collect it? 😬
@bnhietala imagine making a ball out of urine… 🧐

I have a bag of that pigment (and that version) here in my studio! It’s a fascinating pigment that deserves its own video indeed!

Did you say Malachite is also not that healthy? I have Malachite. It’s so beautiful. Why isn’t it the healthiest?
It contains a lot of copper compounds

H302: Harmful if swallowed.
H319: Causes serious eye irritation.
H332: Harmful if inhaled.
H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

@MarkBarville or breathe it..
Cobalt, azo and cadmium’s are the same correct? Fine for use in watercolour but don’t consume them in any way and if you’re working with the pigment use the proper ppe & be sure to dispose of your water correctly
I always try to wear a respirator when cutting or polishing malachite, don't want to get copper poisoning on top of silicosis.

I'd never just give this to someone haha.. I would be responsible for whatever happens and I couldn't live with that
The German pharmaceutical company Merck sold mummy powder under the latin name Mummia vera (real mummy) until the 1920s.
For use in humans
Thank you! I’ve seen the name before but I just looked them up, didn’t know they had such a history with the material!
Amazing video I enjoyed it ❤, hope will be able to purchase some of your paints soon(not these historical ones 😂) .
Hopefully soon my show will reopen! 🙏

this was fun. That green is beautiful. Shame the mummy brown was made from real remains.
It is, same for how Indian Yellow was made, in a different way though...
