This definitely resonates with me. Natural clays, particularly of the smectite group, exhibit an amazing variety of colours and hues. Mostly yellow, ochre, orange but sometimes red, going into brown. More rarely you encounter clays with blue or green colouration, but these exist. The most interesting coloured clays you may find in Java/Indonesia and in Turkey. I have heard that Russia, due to extremes in geology and weather/climate is also a very rich country in these intriguing natural clay-pigments
Wonderfull!!! What an inspiring work!Thank You!

Very inspiring, this opens up a whole world of thoughts and ideas... thank you!
I miss Sylvana's classes at the Getty!
I love the ceremony of it all, I'd love to make my own pigments - would really help me to appreciate using color more
I made my own paints for decades and got badly poisoned so please be very careful, some pigments are quite toxic...
To learn with the heart. To practice with the soul. .
but photoshop should be able to came up with a way to emulate this colors
