How to forage for Natural pigments!
Рет қаралды 33,498
4 жыл бұрынWorking with natural pigments is a transformative process that establishes a unifying relationship between you and the Earth.
This is part 1 of a three-part series tutorial. In this video, I will take you on a virtual journey into the wild to forage a variety of pigment sources that exist in our landscape.
Getting familiar with pigments in their wild habitat / local landscape and how to ethically forage them has the potential to profoundly shift your art practice.
I hope this video inspires you to make a connection with your local landscape. Because the landscape is not just a source of artistic inspiration, it is a source for art supplies too!

Wauw, that’s amazing... Yes, I find this really inspiring. Thank you! I’m pretty new to watercolor and am about to buy quite a lot of paint, but will be rethinking my choices now. And I have pretty much all that’s needed already, since I also love making my own cosmetics. So I definitely will be looking for pigments and something to use as a miller. I’m a bit sad we don’t have mountains/ rocks/ streams here in the North ofThe Netherlands. But I do have some rocks from trips and some mica. And I will look into what I can use from around here, I love how you can create your own paint using foraged materials! :)

thank you for your kind words. I don't live in a 'colour rich' geographical region either but once you become connected to your landscape you will find them. I have found some beautiful intense ochres here in Austria. We spend a lot of time in Nature and i have collected quite a range of colours from my local landscape. I stopped using commercial paints due to environmental concern. There is nothing you can't achieve with natural colours. They were the first paints mankind used and they are still around! best wishes and enjoy the process.

Hi Suhela! I also live in the Netherlands and paint with Earth Pigments :) . It is true that there are definitely better places to find really lovely pigments, but you can find them everywhere in fact! What can always be found, even in city areas (go to the edges of your city, where the city meets nature) you can find pieces of brick stones lying next to the street or on manmade sand paths. Brick stones come in different colours from shades of red, orange, yellow and even close to purple. They are easy to process into pigment as well. I also found an abandoned campfire and painted with the cole (black) and ashes (grey) from it. Good luck with your pigment search! Have a lovely day. Nicole

@@nicoleschyns Thanks! I never got around to reply-ing. But I am following your channel now as well and I love to see how you make your own paints and how they work on your canvasses! I did collect some rocks and clay nearby and also searched for pretty blue shells on the beach. Haven't gotten around to working with them, but hoping to do this now. Ill hop to your own channel to reply and ask about your pigments :D

I would love to see a resource for many available natural pigment sources! I know that some plants need stabilizers and the colors react differently depending on what you are using- for example oak galls can make a great black ink as well as violets for color! But to do things like dye wool- you need stabilizers.

Many beautiful iron oxides are from volcanic (or sedimentary) rocks that weathered in tropical climates.

You must wear a NIOSH mask for making any kind of pigments. If you are scared of grinding and sifting, then opt for making lake pigments. I have in-depth courses on all these topics where I talk separately about the foraging and pigment-making process. lostincolours.teachable.com/
