Making Oil Paint From Lazurite Pigment - Tutorial

I'll show you step by step how I make oil paint from pigment. Some of the materials I talk about throughout the video are listed below:
Silicon Carbide from Natural Pigments/ Rublev - how to prepare glass
Linseed, walnut, and Black oil - what to mix
Clove oil - extending paint when letting it rest
Stretcher Bar Pliers - crimping end of the paint tube

Cool video, one small tip, when I tube my paint after mulling I find it much less messy to put it in a small sandwich bag and squeeze it out into the tube after snipping one of the corners of the bag with scissors, kind of like they do with whipped cream decoration.

[@patriotmonkeyq2232]

Nice. I like using parchment paper and roll it up like a tube smaller then the paint tube and put the whole thing in, squeeze as I pull out the paper. No mess. You can even use the squeezer and get all of the paint out.

Wonderful, thank you.

That was very interesting! Thank you.

[@personsbobbie]

Very informative and easy to follow! Thank you!

thank you!

Awesome video! I was wondering about frosted glass and whether it would help, what grit of the silicon carbide did you use?

[@tsvetomilivanov7618]

Always enjoy your videos! Hit me up for an espresso when you're back in Florence. (:

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

Thank you!! Will do👍

[@Glinko]

very good video, thanks!

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

Thank you!

[@simonsafos2089]

nice instructional ! is it required to prepare the glass surface if the muller has a frosted grit underside?

[@maryfountain4202]

Fascinating where do you buy the empty tubes? Thanks

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

I buy them from Natural Pigments. They are an online shop and sell the tubes in bulk

[@howlingwind1937]

Would you show how to make oil pastels. Thank you I enjoyed watching your video.

Fun process i do this too but only for the earth pigments that i find in nature locally

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

That is great to hear! I am wanting to do some exploring for local pigments this summer. It is definitely a good reason to get out in nature!

[@k.k8791]

@@samuel.s.hoskins highly recommend it and it'll save u money too .you'll find a nice browns like umber ,reds,oranges, yellows and greys ..just remember to keep us posted tho👍

[@TheActualVimple]

At 1:08 , What is it you're spraying the silicon carbide with before whiping the glass off? Is it just water or some specific solution?

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

It is just a spray for glass but nothing specific.

[@TheBaconWizard]

I wonder if a chocolate/spice conching machine would be of any use to you?

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

That is a good idea! I will have to look into it

[@mrknifeworld1015]

Could this process be used to reactivate old oil paint that has dried up?

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

If the paint is still in the tube and it is dry because the oil has separated you can. If it has died from being exposed to air it won't work. I hope that helps!

[@mrknifeworld1015]

@@samuel.s.hoskins That's really helpful actually. Thanks !

Cheaper this way? than buying premade paint?

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

Sometimes it is. I make my yellow ocher this way and I bought a kilo of pigment for the same price as two 40ml tubes already made. I think the best part about making your own is using higher quality or more specific oils. Using different types of oils in making the paint, I can determine the drying time and how much the paint will sink in. When I make my lead white, I add a bit of stand oil to make it more long and stringy. Often times, it is not any cheaper but the quality is significantly higher. I hope that answers your question!!

[@msd5808]

@@samuel.s.hoskins Thank you. I think so. I saw someone else making pigments by gathering various samples of earth and rocks while on a hiking trip. An interesting subject.

[@marwan1766]

Why u took all that time from the previous video ?

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

I have been extremely busy with my academic training and needed to divert all of my energy to that. Now that I am off for summer, I am planning on posting videos a lot more frequently!!

[@dianehansma1725]

@@samuel.s.hoskins can you put the mix in empty pigment powder jars? Love this idea....I would think it would be much less costly here in Canada! The price of good oil paints is ridiculous here!!! Thank you so much!!

[@yoheff988]

After checking the pigments prices, this entire process looks like a waste of time, after all you can find any color on earth at the art supply store.

[@samuel.s.hoskins]

Pigments are much cheaper, the yellow ocher I use is $25 a kilo verses $8 for a 50ml tube. Some of the more expensive colors like genuine vermillion or cadmiums wont have as much of a different just because the pigments itself is more expensive to produce. Most tube paints have additives, dryers, and stabilizers in them which makes the paint too oily and the characteristics of each pigments handling abilities are essentially uniform which I like to have the individual properties of each pigment.
