A story of blue

[@Diablofeb4]

I make this paint at home using old techniques all the time with lapis it is one of the most beautiful paints ive ever used. Its truly amazing ancient science.

[@dubuyajay9964]

You ever combine it with eggs to make tempera paint?

[@Diablofeb4]

@@dubuyajay9964 no eggs, a lot of plant extracts and a natural jojo like oil almost like joba oil. I used the recipe used in Pompeii and Babylon. From research I think its the same blue from the Egyptians.

[@dainababeckas9419]

was he wearing all blue for the video or was it a coincidence?

[@jleviathan9766]

He has a really nice soothing voice, to be honest. Really pleasant to listen to :)

[@Love2knowIT]

Blue is my favorite color

[@lilmonkie]

Love2knowIT blue is the warmest color.

[@hanim1001]

Kris Cuz blue is in fact a cold color

[@lilmonkie]

@potato lover it's a reference. google it.

[@hanim1001]

Kris Cuz ops sorry i didnt know :P

[@ddpastries8365]

I like blue too My favorite kind of blue is Sky Blue!!

[@rose52152]

I love how this guy is wearing blue like it's nothing because it is. What a time to be alive.

[@PHlophe]

He was on brand . fairly common in the industry

[@hilalzamary79]

I am from Afghanistan and lapis lazuli in Afghanistan is called Lajaward (لاجورد)

[@evolvvartstudio]

Excellent video on the history of ultramarine.

[@whodat4124]

Surprised that "egyptian blue" or calcium carbon silicate wasn't mentioned. It was considered to be the 1st synthetic pigment according to another video.

[@evolvvartstudio]

He said Prussian blue was the first modern synthetic pigment, which it was. Egyptian blue was the first known synthetic pigment, but it was an ancient pigment.

[@RedAndHell]

Because they don’t care about another culture

[@nikkiidaniels]

the discovery of the murals behind the bamiyan buddhas after they were blown up in afghanistan kinda changes the history of the use of colour dramatically.. by about 900 years

[@brenguille]

nikkii daniels in Mexico is one of the oldest paintings in the world and one of the basic colors on it it's blue so history changes too

[@20greeneyes20]

It explains everything. I went to Romania, Monasteries were painted with blue paint. They made a big deal about the blue paint and I didn't understand why after all these years now I know why. Lol

[@t6yz]

The guy keeps getting quieter towards the end of each of his sentences :/ anyways interesting video!

[@mykioto]

Dan Ansett yes it's hard to follow

[@twoarrows2543]

Dan Ansett Its also the tendency of someone who speaks a Latin language. Its also common in some Asian languages too. Even people of French, Spanish or Italian decent hereditaraly maintain that vocal pattern even if they were born speaking another language. Its also the reason so many people of English decent talk that way, considering the English are mixed with French and Italian too.

[@germyw]

Dan Ansett Oh god, my mother does that. It has nothing to do with the language you speak. It's irritating as hell, tho.

[@leomcg7951]

Dan Ansett i didnt notice until i read the comments haha

[@JanCarol11]

Interesting. I know people who get quieter - to get you to lean in and pay attention. It's more of a one-on-one technique though. This should be more of a public speaking style delivery. What we have here is very frustrating for the hearing impaired, especially since auto-subtitles haven't a clue what he is saying, either.

[@TheMadisonHang]

i'm taking a music history class and there is a painting mentioned in the textbook The Blue Boy - by Thomas Gainsborough trying to understand why it is so famous and it must be because the color blue was majestically in some way, in the process of getting it

[@Tenar10r]

WHat about both "Egyptian blue" and "China blue"; both were being used far earlier that any blue pigment mentioned here.

[@jennifermorgan6913]

Tenar10r actually lapis and azurite are older than either Egyptian blue or Han blue.

[@nunyabiznes33]

Egyptian blue was invented coz lapiz lazuli was so expensive even back then.

[@peixotosimoneable]

please subtitle this in portuguese!!!! It´s great material for us to use in teaching!!

[@AlphasysNl]

Not even a mention of Cobalt Blue?

[@skinnyjohnsen]

And Cobalt Blue is in my mind the most beautiful colour there is. Hope there will be another video on that.

[@skippymagrue]

Alphasys Cobalt blue was used way back in the day, but it was used in porcelain because there had to be LOTS of heat. Cobalt didn't really become a painting color until the industrial revolution.

[@louisezero31]

Maybe add subtitles? The ones provided by youtube aren't accurate enough.

[@ReinventingTheSteve]

[@view1st]

There will be a trilogy and then a prequel coming to a cinema near you. It will be called Fifty Shades of Blue, Fifty Shades More, etc., etc. ad nauseam.

Blue was iconic.

"Oh I'm talking about blue today?" Throws on a blue shirt.

[@PHlophe]

you'll find that writers often wear white shirts when their book is the centre of the discussion and fashion designers often wear all black to not distract from their work. color is used in real life to send messages .it may sounds funty to you but its fairly normal.

[@elestireninsanylmaz9581]

What does the blue, yellow or red color symbolize in painting?

[@philipwalsh2976]

Does anyone know the harp music that accompanies this video?

[@Berlinwood27]

my favorite blue

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

We are lucky to choose any types of painting colour in this industrial age.

[@dubuyajay9964]

No mention of Egyptian Blue or the late Classical/Early Medieval Germanics making blue dye and paint out of plants (I forget which plant it was)?

[@GBSheridan]

Fascinating. Love this. If you can't understand what he's saying, turn it up and listen more carefully! Lazy ears

[@sahilsiddiqui1778]

Sir plzzz tell about c.p.c blue

[@rhodamiller7338]

There was also a blue pigment derived from snails found along the eastern Mediterranean coast. It is mentioned in the Bible. Very expensive, often limited by law to royalty. The snails are now extinct having been over fished in antiquity.

Interesting video. But lacking important information. 1. History of indigo color. 2. Isatis tinctoria, also called woad , dyer's woad, or glastum, in the family Brassicaceae. It is occasionally known as Asp of Jerusalem. Woad is also the name of a blue dye produced from the leaves of the plant.

[@SIMKINETICS]

So, what gives the blue color to some portions of glaciers?

[@HreForTheMusic]

Its the same reason the sky or water is blue; the blue light (shortest wavelength) scatters the easiest so its the color we see. All the other colors are absorbed within the ice.

[@SIMKINETICS]

Josh L That doesn't explain blue ice adjacent to white (colorless) ice in glaciers.

[@HreForTheMusic]

true, but that is because when glaciers form the snow that falls (white) has not been compressed into ice (blue). The lose particles of snow reflect light much better than ice does, making it white and the light that does make it into the ice part then absorbs basically all the light except blue.

[@emlmm88]

Refraction of sunlight. Essentially it's the density of the medium combined with your viewing angle.

[@SIMKINETICS]

emlmm88 I doubt that. I've seen videos of glaciers from helicopters that change angle of view in all axes without any change in color of the blue portions. Instead, the blue appears like a dye or pigment.
