Ive mined various minerals as a rock hound and thought about making paints before, but i just realized, one could just mine old paint and grind it up, there's s bunch of it everywhere. Also one time i went to a place in California that was like work spaces and i got some paint chips that were from a paint booth, hundreds of layers of different color paint. They call it fordite, and some of it is sought by wood turners because it can be used to make pens and it looks really cool.

Luego la pintura en si se pudre, pero al pintarla no deja olor. No me preguntes como ni por qué, pero te juro que las cosas q he pintado con huevo y pigmento queda de maravilla y no huele. Lo de la tapa es la medida, 1 tapa de botella. No hagas mucha pintura porque obvio se pudre.
Great to see your process:-) even though I use a lot of bright and even fluorescent colours in my art I'm also fascinated with earth colours. And I always loved natural colours of your art! Yesterday as I wantched aother video about earth pigments I suddenly remembered how I was drawing in childhood right on the bricks of my grandmother's house! The bricks of the house were white and I drew a piece on each one with pieces of coal and sometimes small pieces of various colours of burnt red bricks which were scattered all around the house:-) I was finding subtle differences of these colours and texture and consistency .. I was finding ways to create art in any circumstances from anything around me .. And as I watch this video it popped up in my memory even brighter:-)
You can stabilize hand made oil paint, with the addition of a small amount of amber varnish, provided the resin content is at a sufficient level. It is actually quite amazing, what that substance will do for paint.
The resin to oil ratio has to be at a certain percentage, in order to stabilize the paint. If there is too much amber fused into the oil, it will create problems, and too little, another set of problems. @@osmerestelamunoz7644
Wow --thankyou --you certainly know your mineral & earth pigments --I am a wildlife painter---60 years --in Africa----would like to grind my own oil pigments ----ochre and lapis are common here --so is malachite ---I will try to grind some down to powder & add linseed oil ---will send you some of my canvases pics ---give me your email. !
Que clase de madera se quema?? Para obtener charcol? Cómo se llama esa piedra que le. Echaste agua? Fue solo agua? What kind of Wood do You need fgr make black ink only water or alcohol tooo?¿
Different rocks have different colors. For example malachite makes a good green, lapis Lazuli makes a very bright blue, but it's expensive so a synthetic version was invented called french ultramarine and hydrated chromium oxide is now used for cool greens. Cadmiums are very strong colors, but the pigment is considered toxic and expensive so you don't want to use those unless you have to but hansa yellow and napthol red are alternatives but they are more transparent. You can buy dry pigment of many kinds from art stores, just be careful because some are toxic and they are light in weight so they make a lot of dust you don't want to breathe so use a very good mask so ask an expert about them before you buy.
One needs to reside in a cabin or hut somewhere outside the cities apartments to do something like that, otherwise one would be disturbing the neighbors. It's good to know, don't get me wrong. I actually would love to make my own paint 🙂. Thanks for sharing.
You can just take a brick and charcoal to the woods somewhere and crush it up. You can do this in an apartment though if you do it right, maybe go somewhere else to smash up the brick and charcoal... but after that it's not too much noise. Lol that's why cities need work spaces that can be used for things like this, that way people are aware they can do things instead of saying oh I don't have a house I don't have a yard etc...we should encourage people to do creative stuff because that's pretty much where all the good things in life came from, they usually come from people doing things not thinking things.
and they found a cave man to do the grinding, yet the other guy still hasn't changed his clothes for the last few years. Odd help your guy out with a new wardrobe or one of your capes.
Oil paint can be exceptionally dangerous. Vermilion is very toxic, as are cadmiums, and many others, such as flake white etc. The thing is, if you don't put it on crackers, and eat it, or brush your teeth with it, things are generally better. Even non toxic pigments such as yellow ochre, can pose a problem when sanded for example, as they often contain crystalline silica. He is right in his asertion that he needs to be wearing a mask, when working with dry pigments.
A lot of oil paint pigments are extremely toxic, things like mercury and cadmium and lead, a lot of bioaccumulative heavy metals. Whereas bulk plastics are actualyl very biologically inactive, what makes plastics unhealthy is when it's in fine micro-particles. You can lick a block of PVC all day and not suffer any ill effects, try that with a chunk of realgar and you'll straight up die.
he was being sarcastic. because acrylics (which is basically plastic) are often seen as more safe than oil paints due to the solvents in commercially available oil paints. :) I still think that even with fresh paint consisting only out of oil and non-toxic pigment, when working with certain pigments it's safer to work in a well-ventilated space and with a mask if you work with powdered pigments because breathing them in can be not very healthy (there's a reason why so many bakers get problems with their lungs...it's not healthy to breath in so many small particles).

Oil paint often had lead in it and airborne dust or ingestion would be very toxic so id be careful lol
bro with the long hair is chill as hell lol bravo.
Ive been dabbling with natural earth pigments very similar to this fellow. A great binder to use is egg yolk. Great Video.
Wouldn't egg yolk mess with the color?
Y cómo neutralizar el olor del huevo

Oh, I see it's not Alastair's channel 😅 and I commented this as directly to him.. but let it stay here
Ok. Im hooked. What a gift! Thank you!

Porque dices contenido de resina

Greetings from Sweeden 👋🇸🇪😃❤ Best video ever!
this is so cool. can't wait to make it.
Great deep voice
How about grinding it wet to avoid the dust?
Quisiera ver como utilizan estos pigmentos en una obra
Whats the solvent ? linseed oil ? petroleum ? thinners ? alcohol ?
I import a lot of TITANIUM WHITE OIL PAINT is there a way to DIY this paint ?

Sounds amazing. Be careful about the dust. Have fun.

Is there a school for this. What is the name of the teachers.
What’s the purpose of adding charcoal? ❤
It's dark pigment. Manganese (oxide/dioxide) is also used as dark pigments. There are for instance examples of this in cave art (Lascaux)
How do you get colour pigments (cadmium red /yellow /blue etc ? )
Different rocks have different colors. For example malachite makes a good green, lapis Lazuli makes a very bright blue, but it's expensive so a synthetic version was invented called french ultramarine and hydrated chromium oxide is now used for cool greens.

That's why cities have so many parks.

😊😊
It's a lot easier to grate colored chalk from the dollar store.However they dont make black chalk.
I bet you could find charcoal powder for super cheap and use it for paint
So basically the same process as making charcoal/carbon pencil leads except the "lead" has more water to dissolve it into a paste
it's oil based, I think he was just showing how he cleans the powder with water and then dries it out to make the paint with.
Also black pepper isn't black enough.I checked.
What about the demonstration??? I watched the entire video and they never showed the results 😢
Some people use coffee.
⛳️Why did he say “Oil paint is dangerous and plastic is healthy.” Can anyone clarify this plz. 🙏🏻
I think he got this wrong...tre's naive. Industrial turpentine is toxic. Linseed is not toxic. Plastic paints have VOC's, are toxic.

Only charcoal black ? any other colours ? really ? paint ? you are surley joking !
