Colors of Nature: Extracting Natural pigments from plants
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- One of the things we can do to maximize our time with nature is to experiment with plant properties, and one fun way is to extract its colors and use it as paint! Here we experimented with a few leaves, flowers and herbs. You can work with materials and plants that are readily available to you. Feel free to explore, since nature is so limitless!
.
This simple video shows the basic steps on how to do it. If you enjoyed, please like and share, follow and subscribe! Thank you so much! 😍

I Love ur channel

@@AlhibeFarm U Can also use Egg Oil as Blinder Remove The Egg Yolk Animal Glue Tree Gum Eat Honey Don't waste 🎨🦣🤠🌹🖌️🌺
Perhaps if you roasted or dryed the plants in the sun, powder them, then procceed with the rest of the steps it would have greater pigment? 🤔
probably. We will try that. But here the fun in the activity also includes the entire process from gathering of leaves, to finally aplying the colors. Just a short activity intended for younger kids, just for them to witness and experience the basics. =)
I think chemical reactions in the plants will make them darker, so when you powder them when they're dried the pigments are darker?
@@rabbitazteca23 good thinking!
Most of these plants would have already faded from the sun in the time it took to dry them in the sun. Plant dyes are almost all extremely fleeting in a few days or even hours. Indigo/woad, madder, walnut, and weld/goldenrod are almost the only exceptions. Even those will just last years, not really decades
I was thinking the same thing just for mys3 to do. Dehydrate the plant blend to a powder
I really appreciate your work here, liked your video.🧡♀️
A little note:
I used to make pigments from plants, flowers, fruits etc. But as she said it's just a good activity to do with your children. If you're an artist who wants their art to be the same even as the time passes, it's not really a good option for you. The color kinda turns into brownish toned colors.
Thank you for the tip! Yes will try another media for that. =)
Oh :'< i guess thats what taking a picture is for right?
Not like this yeah, if you want to have lasting pigments, you'll have to extract the pigments, mix it with alum and silica, and let it dry
Then use it with gum arabica
What could we as painters use instead?
do their colors remain after some time or they turn brown?
It remains ;)
It lasts longer than the original plant would, but it fades faster than commercial paints
If you boil it down it might become stronger, however the colors will most likely dull.
What a cool way to make your own paint!!. I did n know it was that easy!! Love it so much!! Love and kiss from the Netherlands
I would also suggest trying to add additives such as gum arabic and citric acid to experiment with colour and consistency
When they dried did they turn brown? I feel like that is what would happen? Did any dry down to the the same/'similar color as when they were wet ?
i wish i could hear you more clearly. had to turn my volume all the way up just to barely hear your voice. can hear everything else far better then your voice.
Oh, will try to improve that next time. Thank you for watching! =)
@@AlhibeFarm thank you for the video.
The little singing at the beginning so happy to be painting. Sooo cute. Ty for this.
If you don't add water to it, you will get dark colours. It requires more leafs or flowers :)
I tried it with tiny yellow flowers and it gave me a dark yellow color but hey I like it
Edit:any way to make it thicker?
I love that you did this with your child! I want to do it with my grandchildren, who are of Central American heritage. I will try staining paper this way. Thank you for the inspiration!🙂
Thank you for the beauty of Philippine nature and ingenuity!!! 💗🦋😍
Wow so beautiful ♥️👏 I love the pigments I'll try it too thank you so much. The process is very exciting👏
Thank you for this!!!! amazing I will use this methods with kids in schools in Amsterdam!
Good job, ladies! I’m looking forward to using pigments from stones, but starting with petals is a really good one.
Dont they fade away
I remember being like seven and taking bougainvilleas from my backyard and making pink water :)
Such a wonderful experiment and activity for anyone to do!! I’m going to have to try these in my area next spring when I take my dogs for walks!!!
I watched this video and bought myself a set of artists watercolors
Hi everyone from Mrs. Andrew's art class-
"Pour it and continue pounding"
Do you think, can they be preserved somehow so that they don't deteriorate? Also, is it possible to manage that the preservatives do not be synthetic?
Maybe with alum or chalk
Just have in mind you can make natural pigments out of clay and rocks and any plant part by boiling it. (Boiling plants only)
Is there any other option instead of pouring honey? that experiment is so brilliant
Which type of paint that can be used to banana leaves that turn into different color? The banana leaves that passed through the fire.
Not the dried leaves and the fresh one.
Hello Im planning to make toys and mini house for my hamster. Are those plants edible and safe?
What is the blue flower, again? CC says "butcher needs" 😹
Im loving the calm and serene vibe of this video. I may not have most of these plants where i live, but this video definitely helps with my ink making journey, planning on making many colours in the near future✨
Super then background sound nice😍
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying some UK plants and grass etc. 😂 I'm gonna try Bluebells as one of the first flowers i think. Haha! Need to get a book and write the plant next to the shade. Gonna be so fun!
Your voice sound like wengie's voice
can you make drawing with this colours 😊
I love it. Precious colors from nature 💚
Can i drink the leftover paint it looks safe lol
what did you use honey?
Eyyy can I mix this to white wall paints?
Can't we use any other mordant rather than honey if don't have availability of it.
Honey is just binder or probabpy fixative, not mordant. Alum or copper sulfate will probably work as a mordant.
Ghost of Tsushima brought me here
Me noticing that the child is left handed😂
Nice work im 🇱🇰 sri lankan.🙏🙏🙏

You did a wonderful job and your Little one is so Precious! Good for you teaching her at a young age to look to Nature Like a ancestors.
How is it possible that the purple turned blue (no blue exists in nature), but the greens didn't get a strong pigment?
That is blue pea blossom / blue ternate flower and it's really blue in actual. Sometimes the screens/camera shows differently. About the greens, yes surprisingly the greens weren't that strong
Merveilleux ! C'est très inspirant ... j'adore la nature et j'aime ce que vous en faites ! :) Bravo !
wow what an amazing video ..... you are truly an artist get job....
can i use these colours on wall.
yellow colour is to get marigold
Is it okay not to add honey
Did the honey intensify the color pigment ?
a little
Why honey is added into it?
Adorable & beautiful….thank you for sharing your culture.
I'm pretty sure one of those flower is poisonous if eaten so be careful, but they are really nice color
which of the flower is poisonous?
@@AlhibeFarm the bougainvillea but only in you eat a lot them but it better safe them sorry. I looked again it only mildly toxic so you will only get sick if you eat a lot
1:02 Is tge first one butcher needs? The auto generated subtitle doesn't catch what is said in the video. Purple mayana (painted nettle) leaves, blue ternate, bougainvillea, turmeric, cosmos flower orange and yellow
Be careful what you touch in nature, though....I got a headache once from touching one. So just be careful x
Will the colors get spoiled after some days?
The colors will turn into a brownish tone after a while
Really helpful video
Love this! Are you from the Philippines?
Would love to reach you for this.
You must live somewhere far away from New Jersey because I don't know any of those flowers
What an excellent video, well done! I feel like making my own colors too, thank you!
I was like Okay i can use these method to exctract color pigments from plants and use it to paint things till i saw step 6
Always lovely nature and its beauty as your lovely creations🌼🌼🙂🙂💗💗👍👍
Wow I wanna make that too :)
This was really cool! Did you try seeing if the transparent inks would show up under a black light or react to heat like lemon juice will? I'm also curious if these colors would get more vibrant if the water were allowed to evaporate for a few days or if they would just go bad.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤
How to preserve the paintings from fungal attack?
⚛️
Very good
I am thinking of doing this using paint thinner. So I can mix it in white paints for wall paintings
Amazing!!❤️ Chemical free hands!!:)
you deserve so much more subscribers, this video was so wholesome and nice to watch... i subbed :) xx
So many beautiful botanical colors!
Yes l need paint but I don't have paint thanks for sharing this video
Wow thank you 😁
I'll try to make blue colour.💙
Superbbb
what will be the substitute of honey if you don't have one?
instead of adding honey to it, can i add gum arabic?
If i leave these to dry, will the pigments dry to the bottom?
Tomorrow I plan to try this out so I hope it works , Thank you!
Aside from honey, what can we add as binder?
You added a little more water so that the colour is very light
Hello is there any alternative for honey as a binder?
Make sure to thank the plant while harvesting
This is great for water color paint 😍 I would love to do this with my nephew
Amazing 🔥
Will this work on natural fabrics too?
Could you please tell me the plants and flowers name u used
Online class brought me here
this looks amazing and I don't know why you don't have millions of veiws :)
👍👍
