2022 Update!

[@zviadimeqvabishvili2155]

Hello. Thanks for coming back friend, I wish you health and success!

[@MichelleWalkerArt]

So glad to find you and your channel. The Australian take on some of this material is super helpful. (I’m in awe of how much time and effort you go to in your practice of making art materials and know the extra load filming it adds!) thank you. I would really love more on using Australian plants to make pigments and inks.

Welcome back, Make sure you stay healthy in body and mind! Would rather see you post less than never at all.

[@PRAGMAGICK]

Good to see you, brother!

[@teresacabellospanades9605]

Hi! Thank for all the info you are sharing, I would love to learn more about how you prepare ochres & natural pigments, how to collect them (what to look for, how to find different types) & how to process them. I really appreciate your channel

[@erica-1214]

Good for you, taking a break is always important and I support you 100%. I just discovered your channel today, as I was looking for a detailed and reliable watercolor binder recipe. I am totally going to make your binder as soon as the ingredients arrive. The way you teach, the technique and delivery of information, wow, it's exactly the type of thing I like to watch. Your content is pretty awesome. I would LOVE to see more KZbin videos from you. :) Thanks for the update.

[@livr2901]

Yay!! So happy to see you back :) Your hiatus is very relatable, and I’m glad to hear you’re confident again moving forward with your work and passions. Soooo excited about all of your explorations into various blues, I love watching it unfold and am going to attempt woad again this year myself. Thanks for sharing man!

[@livr2901]

Prematurely posted my comment before hearing about your hopes for a course and needed to express my excitement about that! Bring it on! I’m into the idea of natural pigments, ochres, charcoals etc, lakes including woad/indigo, and I’d love to see more chemical processes too like the Prussian you mentioned however I might have gaps in my tools that would enable me to try some processes out myself. Honestly though, anything you put out will be of interest personally and I would try to get the tools together!

So glad your back Jeremy!!

[@twycross3]

I've been thinking about pigments that would be interesting to see made. Yellow ocher would be a good one! I can rarely find a natural vein of it in my area, but if you started with a common chemical like iron sulfate and converted it to yellow ocher that would be very interesting to see! Would definitely teach me something! Cause I only know how to make red iron oxide. Made a discovery some years ago that iron carbonate rapidly decays into red iron oxide but I could never made yellow ocher. Did I spell ocher (ochre) wrong? LOL

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sfm4774]

Welcome back-sounds like an ambitious year! Looking forward to seeing you do the ultramarines, and would love to learn more about Mars & other modern synthetics (so much info out there about lake pigments, but virtually no one making synthetic inorganics or organics)

[@sompsmash]

I love this channel and find the stuff you're teaching super interesting so I'm glad you're back! I would love to learn how to take natural pigments in the landscape around me and turn that into paint, but I'm a poor college student and wouldn't be able to afford to pay for a class from you so I guess take my suggestion with a grain of salt haha. Would love to see videos about it on KZbin though!

[@Pebblesmas]

Yes me too 👍

[@HimmelsscheibeNebra]

Great to see that you have taken time for recovery. The last years were pretty intense and I also faced mental difficulties. I painted almost nothing and drew almost zero in 2021. Since Christmas, I am trying to get back into it and work myself through the lead white making process and got a starter set of earth colours from Kremer pigments and some oils from another manufacturer. What a phantastic channel on pigment making! I have not followed any of your advice so far, but I enjoy your videos and am happy to see you progressing on jour journey through the alchemy of art material manufacturing. There are those channels, like the one from Luis Borrero, César Santos, some other pearls and yours, that keep the flame of passion burning for the art and the interest for the art material alchemy, the classic painting and drawing technics and the motivation to not give up. I will definitely, one day, try to follow one of your videos and experiment with pigment making. The process of traditional Ultramarine pigment making and the making of classical Vermilion (German: Zinnober), that are some quite chellanging projects, not undangerous and easy. Anyway, here it is almost impossible to get the classical dangerous pigments, if you are no restaurator or professional artist. Well, I hope that all works well for you. I must admit that I am really curious. I just read about the Ultramarine process in the "De Mayerne" manuscript, as translated by Ernst Berger. And the Merrifield books are on the way to our letterbox, hope to find some inspiration in those old Renaissance manuscripts. Be careful, be inspired and all the best! A really inspiring channel. Best wishes, Die Himmelsscheibe

Thank you for this message. I hope the lead white making is going well.

[@HimmelsscheibeNebra]

@@TheAlchemicalArts Thanks Jeremy. It seems that the washing of batch I can be finished now and the drying can begin. Batches II and III still color the water very little light blue (acetate or impurities?). Batch 1 looks very white, I did not expect it to become so white. Batch 1 is in washing and sun bleaching since the end of April (more than two weeks now) with several water replacements and stirring in between. I use a hybrid of the Dutch stack lead white process, with vinegar for acidification and a starch-sugar-yeast-water solution for carbonization which I learned from a Turkish KZbinr and which was inspired by artist Luis Borrero and an older edition of Max Doerner. Let's see how the drying will work out. Maybe I should get some fire under some fractions to check out whether I can get yellow to orange to red shades? But therefore some equipment needs to be organized first. Anyway, starting pigment making is starting an addiction... Best wishes from Old Europe

[@YatFungYeung]

Love your channel

[@alexcamanho]

Very good to see you back! I love your channel and I really want to buy your course soon. Just planning my finances for the next months..

[@paolochiasera8160]

Hey Jeremy happy to have you back!

[@rynecjohnston]

Welcome back! I just saw a couple videos on synthesizing Scheele's green from the minerals realgar & orpiment from Thyzoid. It was in fashion during the 18th and 19th centuries, though because of its toxicity, has fallen out of use today. It was a historically important pigment and has been implicated in Napoleon's death. If you're into making toxic pigments like vermillion, you might also look into Scheele's green. Just be safe!

[@blackreazor]

I fidn you and your content to be absolutely lovely

[@ehle8805]

Good too see you back up again. Any plans on doing Cadmium Yellow Lemon?

[@Admonia]

Hello. Thank you so much for your video's and questions. I would like an overall course about making pigments, finding pigmetns, woad, indigo, madder ochers, lakes. Thank you. Also, I have tried making maya blue and also didnt work. I have watched Michel Garci'a video on how to make it, but mine turned gray.

[@gavinjenkins6761]

I'm very interested in lakes with mordants and alkali other than alum and soda ash. Have you tried using things like copper sulfate and calcium carbonate instead? Or stannous chloride, or iron salts, sodium hydroxide as a alkali too, etc. etc. Also Egyptian blue isn't allegedly that hard IF you have a kiln, which you do (nvm, commented that before I heard the "kiln not up and running" part) Basic course: I'm not sure this is the market for it, since you basically provided all of that info for free on this same channel (?) Maybe it would fit on something like skillshare for people not coming there from this channel. Or like, at your local community college or something.

[@chaithrar935]

Can you please explain the process of extraction of pigment from the hibiscus flowers

[@nicolehiebert9477]

I'd LOVE a Pigment Making course and Lake Making Courses!!!
