Peinture pigment naturel.

This is so fitting for Krow. He does make natural pigments and paint with twigs, and my headcanon about the wall murals was made canon.

Krow loves painting like the Dutch old masters (sometimes tempera when there's a spare egg) but has maybe started exploring his own culture too.

(Krow belongs to @thekrows-nest)

I tried making watercolours from scratch and this is the result

I used a plant pigment called guado (idk the English name for that sorry). The pics don't do it justice but it makes a very nice deep blue. It was used for centuries as a blue dye all over Europe and this tiny place in my region decided to plant it again to make natural colours. They have many more pigments from different natural sources and once I get the watercolour recipe perfect I'm going to get more

In this video I show how to extract dye from the flower petals of the Delphinium plant and create a lake pigment.

I 'cooked' the flower petals in 500ml of water and then sieved them. Stirred in 10gr of Alum and 5gr of Bicarbonate, the water became quite clear so I got most pigment out and it seems it's a good ratio.

time travel idea

flex on renaissance painters with epic (synthetic) ultramarine pigment & exchange it for the same weight of (real) gold

on the other hand. cavemen would be delighted we still use the same sienna and umber! dirt enjoyer 🤝 dirt enjoyer

First one I think I'm happy with. Now to let it cure out of the dog's reach and then seal it. Beet, saffron, and blueberry in egg tempera. A touch of madrone, too.

I'm proud of this handmade watercolor palette. I experimented with a lot a pigments from various sources to create the strongest natural earth colors I could. They're very satisfying to paint with.

I usually use watercolors in mixed media and in my illustrations, but I wanted to try this palette out all by itself. Since these are natural earth pigments, it's basically a palette of browns, (and one gray). It makes painting a subject and interesting challenge with no blues or greens.

ORGANIC BHRINGRAJ ESSENTIAL OIL

It thoroughly nourishes the scalp and encourages hair follicle development. It's also high in vitamin E, which strengthens hair from the roots. It also combats free radicals, which inhibit hair development. Melanin, the natural pigment in hair, is stimulated by it. Its natural color darkens the hair and helps to hide greying. It has long been used to cure skin infections and remove dead skin. It increases blood circulation and reduces germs and other chemicals that cause skin problems. Pure Bhringraj Essential Oil is a multipurpose oil that also nourishes the skin and cleanses from the inside. It also promotes blood circulation and helps the skin look younger, healthier, plumper, and more luminous.

Here's another traditional mural artform.

I wonder if Aeron incorporates this into the entrance of one of their rooms. It says it's a gendered artform but Aeron can do whatever they want.

Some qilik variation

Qilik are the most phenotypically diverse sophont and have a massive degree of variation in coloration and feathering across and within populations. This is partly due to being composed of at least three ancestral species and multiple subspecies (mostly interfertile and widely hybridized), partly due to their extremely wide range and often isolated populations, and partly due to the significance of color and display features in mate selection (and varying and ever-changing cultural conventions of attractiveness).

(A few here display body modifications, namely clipped brow feathers and selective plucking. The most vivid orange and pink shades require carotenoid pigments derived from the diet)
