Making your own oil pigments and using old masters painting materials. Using black in oil painting.

In this new series, The Alchemical Journey, I am starting with the black pigments because black represents the first stage of the Alchemist's journey, the Nigredo.

Because I grew up in Constantia, and have lived among the vineyards all my life (and worked on pretty much all the farms) I've always wanted to make my own vine drawing charcoal and vine black oil paint.

So I did. And I love it.

Check out the charcoal drawing I did with my own vine black on my website.
