Green Verditer | Making a Synthetic Malachite Pigment

- Here is the follow up video to the last video of Blue Verditer, where this time I will make the green version of copper carbonate. This process is not perfect by any means, but it yielded a fairly usable result and was relatively easy to do.
Let me know in the comments below what you think of the colour and thanks for watching.
If you are interested in using this pigment we have half pans of the Watercolour Paint over on The Alchemical Arts store:

Can't believe I found this channel! Bout to watch every video
So cool seeing more science behind making paint! I'm also loving that color!
This was fun to watch! I have a lot of fond memories of making copper compounds in my home lab.
Have you tried making Copper borate? It is a mixture of a soluble copper salt and borax. It is a very pretty blue color and when heated, it produces a deep green. Love the vids by the way! This was the first one I was able to create, keep up the good work!
Is it safe to work with?
I love your videos, so instructional
Appreciate this type of videos
Thank you!
very cool
I've actually been working on this same pigment, and I found that if you make 5% solutions of the same two ingredients and add the copper solution to the soda solution, you first get a blue gel (copper hydroxide, probably) which then condenses into bright green malachite. The colder the better; near freezing you get a very deep green. I've written about it on my site (link is in my channel description) if you're interested, along with some other pigments as well.
Oh I will have to try it at near freezing
I can't find the link you mentioned. I'm very interested to read about this. Could you please reply with the link? Thank you - Jason
Very cool pigment! Have you tried to thicken it up?
I think that some combination of oils or starch could help with that
In oil this pigment works beautifully. I've mulled it by hand and, as with many hand mulled pigments, one tends to add too much oil to make it smooth and not a dry paste, but then later it creates too smooth a paint that won't hold brush strokes. I'm thinking that it needs to rest some and then mulled a final time without adding much oil so that it has a more typical 'tube oil paint' feel.
Very interesting thanks for posting these. Are you perhaps going to try antimony orange? I tried a few days ago and got an orange-ish compound, I need to try again with better control over my start point which is to convert metallic antimony powder into the chloride.
where did you get those bottle/flasks with the corks? thanks for the video!
How to make vridian green pg18 pigment ? Have you got a video viridian green ?
Is this compound stable?
Does it fade or the colour changes?
Can we use this as a malachite green dye for fabrics ?????
🙂
__>products are CuCO3+CO2+H2O+Na2SO4.... as a chemist i know lots of beautiful colours
Hey dude, how u doin, i love your videos, btw have u ever tried to make red with copper?
Thank you very much for the video! Maybe one day you make genuine vermilion with mercury and sulfur. The dry method.
Oh I plan to maybe the wet method to begin with though
I love this! Very good work. Have you ever tried making synthetic alizarin (I guess that's the compound that makes matter red, but Im sure you probably knew that.) or maybe colors in the quinacridone family?
Keep up the good work!
I think I bought the chemicals I need to make alizarin some time ago, how ever the chemistry is a lot more advanced than I am used to so I still have a lot of research to do before tackling things like that.
@@TheAlchemicalArts I totally understand. Chemistry can be daunting, not that I speak from a position of understanding. I hardly understand even basic chemistry.
I very much enjoy watching your content! I cant wait to see some other pigments or processes.
I wish i could do pigment like you do xD
but I don't have the equipment and I feel like it's a bit dangerous (I know nothing about chemistry xd)
Can tell the efficiency of the product please
Have you done verdigris green? Easy to make, very toxic so I can’t experiment with it. It is not very well understood why it degraded so much in Botticelli’s work but not Jan Van Eyck. Maybe it’s Italian vs Flemish. You are the guy to ask!
🙏🌹
I bought some copper carbonate powder online which looks pretty much exactly like the material in your container on the right (your left) in the video. It's a very fine powder, so it's easy to make paint with it. I read that this is called 'synthetic malachite', yet it's not the beautiful color of the pigment which you synthesized. What would be the formula of what you created here? Mine is called 'Basic' Copper Carbonate. Can you tell us what is the 'basic' in these compounds? I know it's not related to acidic vs. basic. In my three years of high school and college chemistry this term 'basic' compounds was never discussed. Thank you.
I've done the same as you and made oil paint with this chemical. It makes very good quality paint but it's a much more 'pastel' shade of green, not deep like his synthesized pigment here. It's like a tint of his synthetic malachite. I also think calling basic copper carbonate 'synthetic malachite' isn't accurate.
Hmm thought of making copper acetate?
Yes currently working on a video for that
try adding veg glycerine to get it.
He already did, his watercolor binder has vegetable glycerin in it
Its the same stuff
you are poor
