paint making from natural cinnabar ore

Reconstruction of ancient painting techniques : paint making process from natural pigment in the studio.
Raw cinnabar ore from Spain has been crushed in a mortar, ground with water, and dried to obtain a suitable fine pigment.
This pigment is then mixed with oil and mulled on the slab.
Here you can see this oil paint making. To achieve a satisfying pigment dispersion level one must reach a good shear rate. So the paste must be worked in very thin layer and attention must be paid for your muller not to slip on the paste during the process.
The way my muller moves into the thin paint film, the sound of grinding, can tell me if I am working efficently. Above all, one must obtain a fine paste, suitable for her/his artist's painting technique.

Sorry I don't understand : with sulfur and mercury, you cannot obtain any white product. Only black, brownish or red.

@@loloqween2130 I don't understand what is زنجر Can you translate it in french, english or spanish? To use your cinnabar, you have to crush it in little pieces. Sort the best ones which color is beautiful red. Then mix with water and crush again in a mortar until it becomes a rough red mud. Finally mull this mud with a muller on a stone or glass slab. When your pigments is ok, you can see its color being brighter on the slab. The texture becomes finer. The sound changes, from hard crushing sound to soft like a breathe.
