I think the issue you had trying to find the right ratio of binder to pigments is like you said.. based on personal preference. some people like grainy watercolors, some dont. some want deep pigment, some might not and want a pale wash type of look so the ratios may be different as a result. Also I am really curious, I couldnt find an answer online when I looked it up, most answers were for while they were working on a painting. But I was wondering since these are natural and involve organic decomposible things like your mustard, dill, hisbiscus...would you need to refrigerate these watercolors so they wont get a mold or anything harmful growing on them or would they be okay. And seeing how the ones with your minerals turned out I think I now have a thing to do with my massive collection of various rocks...
It was definitely interesting trying to each ratio for sure! I wondered the same about the pigments being all natural and the binder I purchased has a natural preservative in it, however, I read you can use an oregano or clove oil as a natural preservative and it is fine to leave out like a regular watercolor. I always seem to leave something I meant to say out of my videos 😤 ugh lol
Your video edits are hilarious. You have a lot of talent. The frog was my favorite too! I think this counts as a water color painting.
I feel in love with that lil frog! 🐸
Beautiful picture and watercolours you should be proud of yourself 🎉
🙏🏻🙏🏻
