Thank you so much for mentioning my channel! What a nice surprise. 💫

ive seen people make watercolours with expired eyeshadow and I've been wishing to make some but I don't have the watercolour binders :( Butttt they look really nice and you should try make them!

Love this! I just made my own watercolor paint recently! So much fun but I have enough paint to last a few lifetimes… 😂

15:15 - The childlike pride in you're voice when you said, "But better _because they're mine_ -- I made the paint that went into the painting!" My heart just melted! 🥰 Hearing the _PURE JOY_ in your voice in this wrap up literally made my entire week! Keep up the great work! Love from Utah. 💕

I have made quite a bit of oil paint. I can tell you that especially for the browns you need a muller and it takes forever to get a buttery texture. I literally spent 12 hours mulling a Venetian red to get it right.. Some of the cadmiums and finer pigments which tend towards the bright colors are easier to work with. I had always wondered about the Vallejo pigments, thanks for trying them. 🙂

Wouldn’t it be cool if he traveled to Japan or somewhere where they make those really gorgeous traditional paintings with traditional supplies and techniques and have a go learning alongside them? When he first put that deep red on the golden canvas, that’s all I could think of!

As a professional Paintmaker......... You made me so happy and so frustrated by doing this. Using Cad-pigments without gloves or mask??? I really hope they were the inert synthetic Cadmium pigments and not true Cad pigments. I'm so glad you got to experience the satisfaction that is paintmaking. Next time try storing your excess oil paint in empty paint tubes, you'll be able to use your paints again and not have to make them every time you want to use your own handmade paint.

It would be totally "Jazza" to experiment with grinding down stones and stuff to make pigments too. (Although in this case getting his staff to research tools and suitable materials would REALLY help) And... who else wants to see Jazza have fun learning how to mix paint from SkillShare classes? Or other truly expert teaching sources? The results Jazza gets when he fully understands something is astonishing!

We love seeing the mixing knife, glass muller, and roller mill apply the same forces (crush and shear stress) to different size batches of paint! We also enjoyed seeing how some of the knife-milled samples were "long" in body, kind of stringy. This is something that often surprises artists when they make handmade paint, because there are no fillers to "shorten" the product.

Jazza is honestly just amazing. He’s like the #1 person I go to whenever I need inspiration or just a kick to start something. All of his art is absolutely phenomenal and I can’t wait ‘till I’m, some day, good enough to even ATTEMPT anything he’s made. Jazza, I hope you know how inspirational you are!

When I was in college, we had a professor that taught us how to make all of our art supplies from scratch. The paper was awesome and the pastels worked beautifully. I have taught a couple of younger people to do the same and their work is phenomenal. Keep going in this direction... If you need my input, I am always here my friend.

Every time I see Jazza work with oils I am delighted. I was trained in how to use them starting at a young age so I’m quite rigid in my approaches sometimes - it’s delightful to watch someone discover the medium organically ❤️ two quick things: i can’t tell if jazza ever does this in his oil videos but you use linseed oil to control the consistency of tube oil paints as well (to thin them out) and also if you want to try working without the wet to wet technique it’s great to tone your canvas first. Mix an appropriate mid tone, add turp until you get a soupy consistency, apply to canvas liberally and then buff off excess with soft cloth or paper towel, then let dry completely, bam! Toned canvas. Happy painting!

Watching paint mixing and paint making is always satisfying.

Would love to see you have a go at making and using other traditional paints such as tempera (made from egg yolk), tempera grassa (a combination of tempera and oil) and even paints used in prehistoric cave paintings (made from spit or animal fat).

There's a KZfaqr I like watching at times named pearfleur who gets some of her paints as chips first, then grinds them to powder before adding the oil to paint with them. The crunch of the paint being grounded is one of life's most satisfying noises, lol! I have several of her videos on a playlist I use for helping me to fall asleep.

Using a muller (that glass thing) is very important when making watercolour, as it really blends the pigment and the binder together as well as makes the pigment particles finer. This causes less granulation, better flow, and increases vibrancy a lot. So it's really interesting to see it not being quite as essential a part of making oil paint! Still, if you want to use one, you could also look for replacements like for example a sturdy vase if it's shaped right 👀

I would LOVE to see you try making paints with pigments you make yourself, you can make "Lake Pigments" out of practically anything. I made pigments out of walnuts, dandelions, avocados, and red cabbage. It was really fun to do and I would love to see you try it :D

A cool thing to investigate would be foraging raw pigment from nature, I have seen people grind down rocks that are red from iron oxide for example. You can also make watercolors from soaking parts of plants in water to extract color

My friend, Connie (may she rest in peace) used pigments and egg yolks to make egg tempera. I have the picture she painted hanging in my front room, but I'm probably going to move it into my bedroom - where my computer is - so I can look at it more. I have to say, seeing her pick up an egg yolk with her fingers without popping it was amazing.

5:39 at that point I went : "Ma! I finally reached Jazza's level in art!!"

Jazza has helped me improve my art so much! He inspires me with every video. Thank you Jazza :)

Yeah, I've been making my own glow gouache (and it's tremendous therapy to make my own paint. (Now, I'm also working with a lot of historical pigments, so there's a lot of caution involved - masks, gloves, etc.)

I get that he's a full-grown Adult, but his childish reactions and excitement just make my heart fucking melt. Not melt as in like a loving way, but like a melting feeling you get when you see a puppy catch a ball mid-air for the first time and it's so proud of itself. Never stop being you Jazza

A suggestion: I've seen videos of an oil paint that instead of being liquid, it's thick and airy, like a meringue. Adds a sculptural element to a flat painting.

I used glass electrical insulators for my smasher. Worked great.

You know you’re not an oil painter when you just now discover that cadmium red is easily overpowering

I'm not a fan of oil paint in my art personally but it's definitely satisfying to watch. Great Arcane painting!

Cesar Santo is an Art god…his paintings are amazing

Is that me or anyone else miss Jazza drawing his avatar...seems like a long time😅

There's an account I follow on tiktok that turns old expired eyeshadow pallets that they were donated into water colour paints which I find very satisfying. Also just getting the glass muller for the visual ASMR should be a priority for next time :P

These are absolutely my favorite type of Jazz’s video. Ones where he try’s something new on his own then research’s it then does it big. It’s so fun learning along with him.

I love that you are always supporting other KZfaq artists by linking their videos

There's a channel called Peter Brown. He does everything you can think of with resin. He has a series where he takes suggestions from comments for potential resin pigments. He has used things like kool-aid, cheeto dust, mustard, etc. Maybe you could do something similar for oil paints🙂

wooo, i love watching people make paints like this its so relaxing ^^

I really appreciate that you let us see the process, even the art pieces that didn't quite turn out how you imagined! It helps me feel not so down on myself when things don't turn out how I thought :D

Kudos to Gareth for filming that painting montage! Some of those macro shots were GORGEOUS! Bravo 🙂

Hi Jazza, I love your videos, thank you for all your amazing content.

Watching him with the bigger knife flattening the consistency, reminds me of those oddly pleasant ice cream shaving videos.

I *love* watching Oil Painting because of the textures that end up in the final pieces! Seeing the strokes and how it all works together after a few steps back is so satisfying! The same goes for the final product here!!

Wow. That edit of the sketching and painting process was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen or heard, jazza never fails to amaze me but bravo bravo👏

Well, you know the most important step already, use a drying oil. Linseed, tung, and about a billion others are drying oils. What I as well as the Japanese artisans use to waterproof a wagasa/bangasa. It "dries" (oxidizes) into a plastic like substance.

Love your videos jazza and happy late birthday! 🎂

There is egg white tempura paint. You use the pigment and egg whites to make a tempura paint. In my college painting class, they had us make our own canvases. It was fun finding the right fabric and wood for the canvas. It was fun to prime and paint on. I never finished the painting on the canvas, but I keep it because I made the canvas.

Props to Rae! Love that you acknowledge other artists and celebrate them in your own way. Your channel's a family favorite

Please make your own watercolors next!! This was so fun!

People mixing colours so competently and effortlessly is like witchcraft to me. Like how?!

Absolutely love this! Jazza nerding out watching how oil paint is made is just perfection. What a perfect video that reminds me of every reason I love watching this channel!

Fantastic! I bought some pigment today and came home to look up how to make paint and here was this video in my recommended list! I really like your playful attitude and use what you’ve got approach. I really hope you do make other paints as well. Especially gouache.

Ive wanted to make my own paints for a long time! But i was going to try and make the pigment first!

It seems so satisfying to mix up your own colors

Really enjoyed this one! I like that you took your time and it shows! Ended up with a really cool process and end result

I feel like you have superpowers, you can successfully do anything on your first try

I think this would be a great reason to collab with Andy from How To Make Everything. You can source your own pigments, and maybe oils too. In the end you would make a wonderful piece of art.

Well done. So much fun to watch. Thanks.

Wow wow wow that looks so smooth and glossy and the colours just pop I think making your own was amazing

“That’s a good tip!” That was a good pun haha. You should try this again but with RAW materials processed into pigments

Fun fact, adding a bit of blue to white, makes it a more intense white. So you did well doing blue first!

Get a muller and make more oil paint please 🥺🙏. I love seeing you this excited and happy in a video. You are becoming a right propper oil painter and it's so nice to be along for the journey.

this might be the most fav vid in a while and the turn out was great, i love the way jinx turned out and it was absolutley great, the messy cartoon style with the yellow and white highlights made the peice so much better, good job jazza and i love your vids

Anyone remember back at school they had the big paint tins of pigment and at the start of art lesson you’d have to mix it up with water to make your paints? Stuff was always lumpy but that chalky paint smell is still engrained in my brain 😂

You ain't telling me Jazza didnt use Arleebean, the QUUUUUEEEEEEEENNNN of home made paints on youtube :o

I love watching u work with oils!!!

Watching you experiment and try out new things really helps me as an artist and gives me the confidence to try things 🥰

I’d love to see you try painting other characters like Spyro (or anyone else from his games) or maybe even a few Skylanders… you want a cool character for Halloween? The Skylander Hex works great 👍 she’s insanely powerful, and has an awesome design!

I was watching this thinking, "Isn't that the same medium Mel painted with in Arcane?" And then you said you're painting Jinx. My mind was blown.

I'm a big fan of lead white. It is the most reliable, stable and lightfast pigment there is. I used to buy it from Old Holland and Michael Harding at ridiculous prices because of the import tax here in Romania, but now I make my own. I managed to legally buy some small sheets from a company that makes dental x-ray insulation at a good price. I live in a house and I have access to a relatively big yard. I usually do it in the summer. I make some lead spirals, put it in boxes with vinegar and yeast and let it sit. When it's time to harvest I take precautions with masks and gloves and put it in water as to work as little as possible with dry flakes. I wash it several times and I take the resulting lead acetate to a company that recycles and disposes of car batteries. I filter the harvest by weight using water so I make three types of pigment - heavy medium and light, light being the purest. I put the pigments in small plastic boxes and let them sit in the sun to dry completely. After this step, normally the pigment powder should be ground further using a mill but I don't have one, so I just use an electric coffee grinder. I usually only grind enough to make oil paint to fill an aluminum tube. After that I just mull it with walnut oil on a marble slab for a decent amount of time and in the tube it goes at which point it is safe to use as long as I don't smear it on my face :). After two years I've made enough pigment to last me probably a full decade, so I'm happy. I keep the pigment rock in sealed plastic containers. It is truly a wonderful pigment.

Wow Jazza your painting of jinx is amazing! The paint colors are so vibrant and look amazing together! And the process of making the paint was so satisfying to watch. I would love to see you mess around with other pigments and stuff it would be a lot of fun!

I mean, someone has to ask for you to do an oil painting of your custom Warhammer army. Would be interesting to do it with the concrete colouring as well.

Does... does Jazza know what meringue looks like?

THAT IS SOOOOO COOOOLLL !!!! Im not good with oil paints but watching the process of you making the paints AND the painting WAS SO SATISFYING and it makes me want to give oil paints a go again !!!!

Oh my god yesss!!!!! I've watched watercolour making asmr videos for a while and the mulling is so satisfying

it cant just be me who thinks the paint looks delicious right? ...right?

Prepare ourselves for the first comment and the we can all appreciate his content comment

Thank You , Thank You, this was so fascinating. Love simply love it.

This is definitely worth it! These are so beautiful and are super satisfying to make.

If you give oil painting another go, maybe you could copy the painting of the Noxian ships that Mel Medarda paints in Arcane. Or something in that realm of creativity

In the next episode; Jazza’s growing a olive tree to produce his paint from the ground up! Also, he gets a mullet.

I have done this a little and its awesome fun, love your take on it very cool absolutely love the experimentation you go through

Awesome video. Great work jazza!

I love to see when Jazza fails... amkes it more.. I goess human?... sounds stupid but always seeing good artwork makes me think I'm bad at art.. the fails make me hope hat I can get better

2th

Sooo satisfying, and your artistry is just incredible!

This was amazing. has sparked an interest in me into making my own earth/mountain oil with pigments from off my property. a little personal touch to all my future paintings.. thank you

Thank you so much for mentioning my channel! What a nice surprise.

Happy late birthday Jazza we really appreciate the time and work you put into these videos keep it going man

I've been waiting for you to post again so I was so excited when I saw this and I wasn't disappointed

This was quite literally enthralling to watch. The piece, video, and this EDITING!!

Hey Jazza, really appreciate your enthusiasm with this. Makes me want to make own oils. In fact...I'm going to!

This was so cool to see. I don't know if I'll ever do this for primaries, but experimenting with other pigments (metalics come to mind) to see how they work with the oil medium sounds fascinating.

as a paint maker: this video is so cool! and it's awesome to see you discover all the pro's about making the paints yourself

Want more of this,yesss!all of it Rocks!!

Honestly you inspire me and I’m sure many others to pursue art with the passion and joy that really resonates through your videos. Fantastic job as always and wonderfully entertaining

Wow the final result is awesome!! And watching the process of making the paint was soo satisfying 🔥😎

This was so satisfying to watch and felt vicariously fulfilling!

that is sooooooo satisfying! i've never made paints before and now I want to. Plus, that painting was amazing!

I forgot how wholesome Jazza and the community are. Good to be back yall, and enjoying the chill chaos vibes of the recent videos.

He did it exactly right… so satisfying to watch!

I will play 9:55 whenever I'm feeling down and imagine that Jazza is talking directly to me.

I love watching pearfleur making oil paint. She adds honey to hers.

Dude chill!!! Very impressive
