Welcome to Part 2 of making lake pigments out of fruits and vegetables! In this video, I create a few more colors and turn them into handmade watercolor paints with a homemade binder (gum arabic, glycerin, clove oil, etc.). If you missed
I also attempt to make my own homemade watercolor paper and watercolor paints out of chalk pastels. Both videos are currently in progress and should be out within the next few weeks. I'll link it here once it's ready :) (or you could totally Subscribe lol).

thank you for taking the time to do this video. I too, like the dyi approach to art. partly because im a cheapskate but mostly i tell myself I "bet this stuff is way over priced and can make it way cheaper" which turns into a personal challenge: me against the elements. usually i only really save around 5% (less savings then i could just buying supplies on sale) BUT, most important, I learn the process. this helps me to decide what is a REAL deal or not a deal. And some times the uniqueness of the result is just worth it!. now you can truly say that the painting you made is from a salad! that is just cool! great job :)
Aww your comment made my day! Yes it's all about the journey. Haha I'm quite proud of my "salad paint" 😂 You're totally right about the expenses adding up. It's usually not worth the time and effort financially, but it's definitely worth experiencing the process! It's great to meet a fellow art diy-er. Lmk if you end up making your own paints- I'd love to hear about your experience 🤓
Red cabbage is really pH sensitive and the lemon will make the pigment solution more acidic (red in this case)
This is greatttt set of colors! Next time try to use only the outer skin of the red onions, the inner part doesn't works the same... the yellow onion skin is also a great source of rich pigments (literally gold) ! But great video 🎉
Ahh great tip! We've got some red onions here at home. I'll try to make some inks with them and see how it goes 😆
That is insanely beautiful!
Not a child, a WILD child! ❤️
Thank you for all your hard messy work. I LOVE your channel! 👍🏽❤️👍🏽
Hahaha this made my day!! Thanks girl 😂💕
3:30 for the red cabbage you should try adding in baking soda
They turned out great! 👍🏽
I enjoyed this and you gave a shout out to my favourite artist arleebean 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's great to hear considering how time consuming the process was haha. Arleebean is such an incredible artist! The expression in her work really is unmatched, and her paint-making videos are very relaxing
Next time add the washing soda a little bit at a time (and dissolve it in water) and stir them in between adding the washing soda. That froth is full of pigment and you really don't want to lose it.
Very informative . Thank you . Not sure I have the patience ??? But …maybe one day .
this is amazing
Thanks!! I'm happy you think so 😁
Thanks Juli
Thanks for watching 🤗
How did you get such a beautiful color from beets? How much did you cook it? If not a secret. Because for me it becomes too brown or even grayed out in gray. 😭😭😭
Hi Viktoria! I cooked the beets for about 30 minutes, then added the aluminum sulfate + washing soda. During my first attempt I tried using canned beets and the color completely bleached out. Natural beets worked 10x better. Although, I like to think that the fun of working with natural materials is that you can't really control the end result. And that so many different factors affect the color you end up with! What did you do to make a brown/grey? Maybe I'll try your method out too 😆
The brown color when extracting pigments is often an indicator that the pigments are "burning" 😢 try not to boil the water (stay under 80°C), a long and cooler bath works better. Hope it helps
Oh really? Wow I had no idea.. making watercolors was such an involved process. I'm planning to learn all I can about botanical inks before moving on to making pigmet powder. Maybe that will help with transitioning back into the powders. Anyways, I'll take your advice next time, thanks for the tip!
This soo cool
Ahh thanks! Glad you think so
does it really take several days to let the sediment settle down at the bottom?
I was impatient, so I believe I only left it in the jar overnight. Or whenever I saw a clear build-up at the bottom.
What is the lightfastness on these lake pigments?
They're not very light-fast. I believe it depends on the specific dye material, but for the most part, don't expect the colors to be vibrant for a long time.
I did red cabbage before and I got some insanely blue pigments! like Robin's egg blue. Also if the water still has color then you did not use enough alum
Thank you so much for this info!! Seriously this is gold! I didn't even think to experiment with different alum amounts. It would be really cool to get a nice blue color. I'll definitely keep this noted for next time 🤓
may i know why do you have to replace the water until it is clear?
I believe it removes some of the acidity, but don't quote me on that! I was just following instructions I read online. Not entirely sure, but if I find out, I'll let you know. Thank you for your comment~
is it soluble in water?
Yes totally, you can paint with them like you would with regular watercolors
It's more the skin of the red onion rather than the flesh that you get the dye pigments from. The turmeric needs another step done otherwise it'll be grainy and fibrous.
Oh interesting! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. It's hard to find information on making lake pigments, so it's great to get insight from people who have knowledge on the subject. How can I make turmeric work in the future?
@@JuliRoxArt it's a bit involved, so if you go to a channel on RUclips called the alchemyist, he has videos on making Lake pigments, and pigments from other stuff, but he's very long and drawn out with his presentation, but it's interesting how he makes the pigments, so persevere with watching if you're interested. Cheers!
@@howlingwind1937 Amazing, thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll check it out.
@@JuliRoxArt you're welcome!
@@JuliRoxArt hi there, I found the name of the RUclips channel for Lake pigments, its called the alchemical arts.
