My guy needs to wear a respirator..... guarantee his lungs are also blue. And everything he sees is just blue Like him inside and outside Blue his house With a blue little window And a blue corvette And everything is blue for him And himself and everybody around
I don't understand why you never showed a comparison between the various types of Ultramarine paint: the Cellini, his method, and a couple of synthetics. I would love to see if there's any noticeable difference.
It's because there isn't one lol; natural ultramarine has like. A tiny bit of refraction in it that you can see when you're maybe a foot away or less, and the synthetic is nearly identical.
It's because the pigments are chemically identical. The main difference is that synthetic production gives you an inherently pure, and uniform, fine powder that actually has a more intense consistent blue color than crushing expensive as hell natural lapis then having to go through a long process just to maybe get a powder blue enough to be worth using in paints. It's similar to how lab grown diamonds are chemically and structurally the same as diamonds. But properly made lab grown diamonds tend to be more perfect than a normal gem quality diamond because of the controlled conditions. But the marketing around diamonds has people paying more for the "natural" diamonds because they come with a certificate of authenticity from some industry rating group.
@ResidentFurryx the expensive stuff must be used to restore old art or to replicate art from the era where real ultramarine was used. For daily use the synthetic stuff makes more sense.
2:04 that dude should be wearing some sort of filter over his mouth he's going to be inhaling that his lungs going to be blue and he's going to be dead
Was about to make a comment about silicosis and see that so many have already picked up on the respirator thing. You can only muck around without PPE for so long...
It would be so sad for a man who puts his whole life into producing this pigment for artists everywhere to die a slow and very painful death from silicosis.
the printer was cheap, so you would get that one. The ink is expensive: because that's where the profit is. Laser printers; Printers with ink tanks - those are the two better options. You pay more upfront - but the accessibility to getting solid value out of what you spend is there, far higher.
@annapurna-c3vThe Taliban closed the Lapis Lazuli mines and Afghan mining (more like most of Central Asia) is incredibly crude due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment not to mention investment capital and expertise.
I have used both natural and synthetic ultramarine and they work up very different. I do use it in water color form so I don't know about other paint mediums but the grain size makes the difference. For most applications synthetic is fine but the way the grain interacts with the water and other pigments can give a unique texture to the finished product. Not too dissimilar to when you add salt to your water color and get that crystal splotchy look.
I was gifted a small amount of this pigment and used it in my watercolor painting. Magnificent is all I can say. It truly brings your artwork to life! Thank you Ifran! ❤🙏🏼
That’s awesome. My mom was an artist. So many time for Christmas I’d work to find her to find her real pigments. Like I got her ultramarine blue (a teeny tiny tube was like $150), a version of vanta black made by the guy who made the crazy pink pigment, etc. She loved it.
Fantastic!!! But the article I read, in C&E News, many years ago, blew me away. There was a Vermeer painting, hanging in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, that was worth millions$$$, but had to be authenticated. One of those authentication processes, involved the "slightest removal" of a miniscule quantity of oil paint, to determine, if it in fact contained lapis lazuli in a manner which was knows to be employed by Vermeer. And that process, authenticated the painting.
This was fascinating! I have 2 degrees in art history and had no idea you could still buy lapis lazuli-based pigments--I assumed ultramarine paint would always be synthetic today. Thank you for highlighting this!
Yeah, you can buy it from places like Kremer pigments and a few paint companies. Its mostly Chilian lapis these days though since the afghani stuff is absurdly expensive for fran angelico
I saw the thumbnail and thought that looks like lapiz lazuli turned into paint. I was spot on. Didn’t know they made paint from them but I’ve always been fascinated by lapiz. I have them in all my house plants.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Silicate? Put on a respirator my guy
I know man. The inside of his lungs are getting ravaged. He needs a respirator desperately.
He's already a dead man walking.
I would put on two, better yet an closed air tight suit like an astronaut 🤨
It is the Pakistani work method.
He wont be alive very long
My guy needs to wear a respirator..... guarantee his lungs are also blue.
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside
Blue his house
With a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
da ba di da ba dyed
@chairwood😂😅
Lol nice one
Ha! My first thoughts! Kudos!
and he ain’t got
nobody
to listen to
Will someone please send this man a Painters mask or a box of good quality face masks? A blue sneeze isn't something to be ignored.
Yeah and at that price you know he's picking up that booger and using it. 😂
we should also send troops in there and take it all
He looks like the only employee, who's he gonna sue?😂
I don't understand why you never showed a comparison between the various types of Ultramarine paint: the Cellini, his method, and a couple of synthetics. I would love to see if there's any noticeable difference.
thats been done by the pigment collectors of youtube and a lot of watercolor people thankfully.

@ResidentFurryx Well said!
2:04 that dude should be wearing some sort of filter over his mouth he's going to be inhaling that his lungs going to be blue and he's going to be dead
I was wondering if he’s ever thought dying his hair blue.
Silicosis
You're right. He is neglecting his health for no reason.
He might wear a respirator, but didn't want to use it for the video because they wouldn't be able to hear him very well.
@yingofdarknes as someone who works in this field, still no excuse. I have a respirator with a voice projection module, so should he
It's always satisfying to see a master craft so passionate about silicosis
Should have been the pantone color of the year
Much better than white, but they did a similar blue in 2020.
You tried.
but they chose toilet bowl white
Bahahaha yes yes I’ve found another person like me
What about the fug colour last year ? Poo colour ?
So is this where Warhammer gets their Blue
Great to see someone so passionate about a historic trade/craft.
no

Rumour has it you can find knock off versions on the bluemarket
Blue light special.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
thousands of people believe that yes they too can be clever on the internet just by virtue of owning a keyboard
My printer ink must be made of this stuff. The price we pay for it.
the printer was cheap, so you would get that one.

Laser printers; Printers with ink tanks - those are the two better options.
You pay more upfront - but the accessibility to getting solid value out of what you spend is there, far higher.
The paint can also be used for enchanting your brush
It actually can't tho
@petermccavington8232 lol facts thiugh
Efficiency V for the brush
Enchantment V brushes only used for the robes of the Virgin Mary 🤔
but it's only rare. you need a magenta or an orange paint to make it really good
Silicosis speed run
Love watching super passionate people in niche trades/crafts
It was a delight to watch Mohammed exercise his skill, and fascinating to hear his expert opinion on the value of real lapis lazuli blue.
It’s environmentally damaging and it supports the Taliban in Afghanistan
@annapurna-c3vThe Taliban closed the Lapis Lazuli mines and Afghan mining (more like most of Central Asia) is incredibly crude due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment not to mention investment capital and expertise.
W guy actually seems so genuine
Such a pretty color. I'm sending this to my grandfather that does oil painting I'm sure he will appreciate it.
I love Lapis Lazuli. It is beautiful.
“The lazurite will come quickly…and easily…” me too bud
I see what you did there.
😂😂😂
Guys they made the thing from Minecraft real!
You think he made the rocks?
Did you watch the video or are you just smoking rocks?
@SubjectiveFunnyr/wooooosh
@SubjectiveFunny Are you dense?
@SubjectiveFunny "I have a wife, job, and 2 kids.."
nice, you still missed the joke though
@SubjectiveFunny You need a klippies and coke oubaas

For Ultramar!
Thank you brother, I was looking for this comment.
Dudes laughing about sneezing blue.respirator😂😂😂
The amount of lapis I skipped in Minecraft. 💀
Reminded me of Minecraft too! that's where I heard the name Lapis Lazuli first! 😂😂
I’m so high 😅
My dude gonna end up looking like a Smurf when he retires lol
Your intoxication status is irrelevant to your comment.
mix of mastiqa and pine must smell like heaven. more like the aegean sea.
Thank you so much for putting this together
I Can't believe the thing we enchant our Minecraft weapons armors and tools is in real life
the name itself is already such a royal and mysterious
Man, I thought I liked blue. This guy *really* likes blue.
This man has my respect . His a master in this world.❤
A true craftsman. Not many left.
if he keeps the way he gets its processed without protection, they'll be even less left.
Love this color!
Ai making real art work more valuable is a nice thing to hear. Love that.
Ah, how HP Cyan printer ink is made 😂
Even the guys hair is art
If there is sililicate I. There guy should be wearing a respirator
Brilliant work! It looks so cool
Fascinating 😮
Incredible work
So interesting !
Great vid
Thanks again
No gloves, no mask or respirator.
Blue sneeze 🤧.
I worry about this man.

You can purchase it in a watercolor paint? What brand please!
A true artist and master craftsman. So cool
What a lovely man!
The world need more dudes like this guy

I can totally appreciate its value.

This guy eats it 😂😂
Yeah, you can buy it from places like Kremer pigments and a few paint companies. Its mostly Chilian lapis these days though since the afghani stuff is absurdly expensive for fran angelico
Have thought about asking for your money back?
Beautiful color 💙 💙💙
Amazing
3:20 good hustle Mark Ruffalo
We march for Macragge
Courage and honour! Ps that's why citadel paints are so expensive
Such a pretty colour
Courage and Honour
Very interesting
It can also be used to enchant your gear.
Was looking for this 😂😂😂
Minecraft 😂😂
Expensive but it is beautiful.
even the grayish color is beautiful
3:30 - I thought he was going to start eating the dough balls.
3:53 I think it's funny if you read further at that point it talks about watch out for old ladies 😂
Thanks 😂😂😂
Lol 😆
Yeah, and he says it should be done by 'pretty girls'. The narrator sanitized it as 'young women' or something like that.
I like to imagine that they can mess up the process by thinking it's a toy and throwing it away.
Bro is cooking the blue stuff in his lab
Vevor.
Lol. I love it.
Crushing rare stone and turn it into a color paint is the craziest activity I have ever seen
Bro eats it
3:54 Oh boy....This dude will be in the news some day...lol
I feel like they’ve made this video like 10 times now
6:39 man this shot looks like it was taken 2000 years ago.
I’m fascinated by anyone who does specialty work, who has great knowledge acquired over time, trial and error
"Sometimes I sneeze and it's blue"
Your face is going to be blue when you can't get enough oxygen because you are dying from lung disease.
Man it’s like so common in Minecraft now that I forget it’s a actually a pretty rare valuable resource
Very interesting video. I couldn’t believe that color was so expensive. It is a beautiful color.
Guy looks like he came out of Expedition 33
Me watching this on my black and white screen due to sleep time hehe
Its gonna be worth a lot more as time goes on
Soon as he said I sneezed blue I came to the comments and was not disappointed 😂
A color fit for the sons of Guilliman
0:20 CANADIAN TIRE MENTIONED RAHHH
It's filmed in a Canadian company
Our world is full of interesting information.
Midnight Purple 3 is pretty darn expensive too.
Woohhh !!! 😮
8:24 67🤨... Iwill seem my self out.
i knew this dye was expensive, but seeing just this method makes sense on why the price is so high
He didn't show the "secret" method because he might just mixing it with synthetic and no one can tell the difference, even the so called "experts"
@dulaan5689 Good point! After all, they _are_ the same compound... 🙂
I would like to see some of those rocks cut and polished.
I need this for my war hammer models
my favorite color since i was a kid
Its so nice that he 'remembers (and ) normally' ie his memory.
"Under criticism" followed with "but its still the worlds highest quality" tells you how much businesses cate
One irony, given how it has been used, historically: Lazurite's color is from the S3- anion. In old terms, brimstone! 🙂
Ancient Egyptians were making statues out of this rock. Egyptian Blue.
Colore meraviglioso
Thqnks for showing me how now i shall make and sell this color for half the price
40k
I saw the thumbnail and thought that looks like lapiz lazuli turned into paint. I was spot on. Didn’t know they made paint from them but I’ve always been fascinated by lapiz. I have them in all my house plants.
Man, I'm glad i stick to acrylics 😅
The best video I have seen on RUclips. Thank you for producing this.
Roboute Guilliman needs to sort that price out.
