The BEST demonstration of how to mix pigments. You Sir are the MVP. Thank you 💛💛💛
I want to note that the stone he's using looks like porphyry, which according to Cennini is the best most ideal surface to grind pigments on. It's also large enough to actually work on. A good and proper set up with a little nod to the masters in it. Mad props.
Nice demo. Thank you Alex, I'll make sure I show this video to my students.
at our atelier, we make paints from precious stones like emeralds and rubies.
where have all these videos been.? RUclips seems to hide videos when i search or maybe they are just buried under so much content.
There's def no shortage of cool videos to watch and learn from! Please subscribe and you won't miss our new stuff! Thx!
Right! I never find instructions like these when I search for them. They only randomly show up in my recommendations.
The easiest pigments to make are black which is simply from carbon or soot. Iron (ii) oxide which gives a red raw sienna color. iron (iii) oxide which gives a brown burnt umber color.
People used burned bones to create the darkest kind of black
I know that Rembrandt used ground glass (such as smalt) as an additive in his oil paint. I'm not sure if you would be able to use your marble dust as pigment alone, but, you may find that adding the marble dust to an already existing oil paint will accelerate/decelerate the drying time or possibly even thicken your oil paint for desired impasto textures. Did you have oil paints in mind or were you thinking of using the pigment for a different type of paint?
what am i doing? i have an exam tomorrow.
Did you pass?
Did you?
Adeline Jordon you good.
I'm sure you passed in exam
Where did you buy this glass muller? Love the design of it been having a hard time finding a good one.
Many colours in medieval manuscripts are very opaque. Did they use a large number of layers - like, how many would you expect to add, or use coarser pigment particles, an underlayer of something else, or add lead white to the pigment and binder, as I would add a touch Permanent White Gouache to any other colour of gouache to increase opacity? Thanks for this video! I was surprised how little you ground it with the muller.
Can we use paint binder instead of egg yolk
I got my heavy ceremetric moral and pestle from supermarket, some people use large ground bottle stoppers on old medicine bottles and perfume bottles, heavy class globes. I got a heavy limited edition coca cola glass with flast bottom its thick and shapely to grip.
Hi, I've been working with marble in a workshop and I was wondering how to make the marble dust into a pigment... Do you know if it can be used as a regular pigment? Or I have to add chemicals in it? thanks.
Hi, I'd like to know how to make watercolor paint and put it in a pan. :)
Where can you buy the glass muller besides at art stores?
Besides going to art stores for pigments, where else can you buy them?
maybe online
Can you help me where can I buy the pigments from please?
What is acrylic emulsion and where can i buy it?
Learn chemistry. I made 3 different colors with copper and 4 from iron. mixing different acids with different metals makes different metal salts, which are your pigment.
Where did you get the pigment?
I am currently working with pigments. I thank you for the video. Never thought to use water first. I can't buy the muller at the moment. I was thinking about using a flat bottom rounded sided vase. What do you think about this idea? Also I have different mediums to create the different kinds of paint. Looking forward to seeing your videos. Thanks!!!
maybe use a rounded of candle lid
what can i use if i don't have that glass thing?
Hi Jessica, you could ask at Sinopia Pigments:

Good luck!

WHERE DO YOU BUY THOSE DRY PIGMENTS FROM BRO???
IS NO SOUND HOW THE MIX TE PIGMENT? WATER?
You can use linseed oil, water or other acrylic mediums, to mix your own pigments. If you're interested in learning more, here is a interesting guide. www.kamapigment.com/en/information/how-to-make-your-paints.html
WELL there are many pigments that do not bind with water. WHAT DO WE DO T H E N ? xd
how can I source for raw materials locally

Quit saying the L in yolk. Its killin me
is yet poor the study of pigments and specilly the binders if we consider the tibetan and indian methods.
Thaks for the video, but we still need to be taken seriouly by the orientals as western reseachers.
Thank you_/|\_
My Bro My Lost Love
that looks REALLY thin
I'm surprised that someone who works in such a niche artisan field thinks everyone else in the world gives a flying eff about how paint is made
go to an art supply store...
he lost like half the pigment
You're not suppose to use the egg yolk you suppose to use the egg white so the color of the pigment won't change. That is how we do it back home in Egypt. Take a look at the ancient Egyptian's art. It's funny how people still think they can use the yolk for pigments.
People did not use the yolk as a pigment but as a binder, egg yolks are strong binding liquids, much cheaper to obtain compared to linseed oils and animal fats, but I kind of agree with where you are coming from, tempera paintings tend to look yellowish like they have been covered with yellow varnish since the yellwoness of the yolk mixes with the pigments
the yolk is an oil emulsion, the white is albumen protein. They both have very different effects. Egg yolk is pretty much permanent and has no effect on the pigment colour. Glair, the egg white was also used.
@@PILOSOPAUL egg yolk doesn't change colour as long as the surface is clean and the colours stable then the colour you see is the same as was laid down.
Oil varnish over egg has ruined many pictures because of the way oil changes over time.
Crivelli pictures used a lot of egg and they are as fresh as they were 500 years ago.
Wouldn't it be easier to mix it in a small cup what's all this pretentiousness
Also the yolk makes it green
So then do it yourself that way if you want, and see how it turns out. There is a reason to his method, and he explained it in the video.
Its not pretention. The muller technique is centuries old. Thats what they did when they did not have modern commodities like paint tubes
@@Ddalgiichigo no it doesn't, the egg yolk has almost zero effect on the end colour.
because the grinding is what happens in factories to make paint but at a larger scale, so to effectively mix pigment and binder you need to grind, it is not dissolving paint but dispersing/mixing.
