How to make natural pigments from rocks!

This is part 2 of a three-part series tutorial. In this video, I demonstrate how to make natural pigment from a piece of rock.
There are 5 basic steps:
1. Washing the collected sample
2. Drying
3. Grinding and sifting the rock
4. Washing the pigment
5. Drying and storing the pigment
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 of art supplies too!

🟢 When foraging rocks and other natural resources for pigment extraction, always ensure you're respecting local laws. Many national parks and protected areas prohibit collecting natural materials, so be sure to check regulations before taking anything. If it's allowed for personal use, ask for permission when necessary. Remember, sustainability and respect for nature should always guide your foraging practices.

🟢 Edit: If you have been longing to learn how to make your own watercolor paints, I have exciting news! I just published my online course " The Watercolour Paintmaking Workshop".
