I was just watching a Vietnamese traditional painter's youtube video and he said he uses eggshells for white too! Then i thought to try making it so i searched how to make natural paint again (I searched but haven't found time to shop for binder ingredients). ❤️❤️❤️ Keep going! I've followed your account on my alt. channel previously. Am glad to see your videos are showing up higher on the search pages 😍
Thank you ive been dying to learn how to make natural colors i already have ideas for a full palette but for some reason i could not think of a natural way to make white
Hi Do you know the difference between calcium carbonate, calcium acetate and lime? I heard that when combined with vinegar the eggshells will dissolve, and wonder if this can be used for making lakes I also wonder if Gofun and lime have any connection. It would be nice to understand all the range of what can be achieved from shells!
Hi Jyotsna, so grateful for your content and inspiration. I'm curious what your advice would be for a natural / less toxic way to seal and protect our finished watercolor pieces
Hi Myranda, thank you for stopping by, and glad that you enjoyed the content. I personally don't use any sealant to preserve my work because I work with archival cotton paper and earth pigments. These colours don't degrade and so also the paper. Besides, I create art for myself. But if you sell your art then the only option I know is to frame your work in glass and to keep a gap between the glass and the artwork A window mount that conceals the edges of your art piece will do this, by a minimum of 2mm. If you are planning to just attach your painting to the frame’s backing board, you will need small wooden fillets to create this minimum breathing space. hope this helps.
I wonder if my blue chicken eggs would produce a light blue pigment
I'm curious, did you try this?
I’m addicted!!!! What a lovely idea for gifting to arty friends ☺️. And for sharing pigments from different countries.... 💛
Soooo pretty! I love the muted colours. And its so great you can make it from (egg-)shells. Im gonna try it straight away tonight 🥰
Thank you. let me know how it goes!
It's really interesting. Seems like you can make paint with anything. Thank you for sharing. 😊
A dedicated coffee or spice grinder would work wonders here.
What are the ingredients in the pre-mix binder? Egg yolk?
It's gorgeous indeed. And the palette colors as well, just so pretty!

You mentioned your binder not having mold. Did you make your own binder? If so, how do you make it?
Excellent. I keep learning and start picking colour stone. Thanks for your tutorial.
Thank you ❤
I will try acrylic varnish gloss medium. Someday. Maybe. First I have to eat a bunch of eggs. Great video, thx.
The colors are so pretty! 🌻 love your channel

hi, beautiful how subtle a neutral color. I'm wondering actually what calligraphy pen you use & where to find?
Thank you . I use a Brause calligraphy nib and sometimes simply a twig.
Amazing!Thank you!!!
u can also use chalk!!!
wonderful, may i ask how you made the binder? ratios? thanks, Eric
i just posted a new blog post on how to make watercolor binder. You can find the recipe there.
do you find that a heavier muller really helps to grind down the pigments?
Thanks for the nice in debth video!
indeed, a heavy object would crush the smaller particles much better :-).
Have you tested the lightfastness of the pigment at all?
Wow , it’s really interesting!!
thank you
excellent! thank you!
Can I do this same process but with a drying oil and/or beeswax?
Can l use egg shell white color for fabric? (Such as Cotton, Silk)
