I am Stefanie from Germany.
I can't survive without coffee ☕
I started making watercolors with foraged Pigments a few weeks ago and it is highly addicting 🤓
And it changes the way you look at your souroundings , everything is possible Pigment 🙈😂
I am looking forward to talk about Pigments and Binder etc. with you!
Hi there Stefanic and welcome. Great to meet a fellow coffee/pigment addict!!!
Thank you Stacey! 💖
Oohhhh foraged pigments?! Mind if I ask a sample of what foraged pigments would be? Like a rock? Or do you use maybe other things??
I don't mind at all! ☺️
For starters I used a broken claypot, I smashed a few shards in a towell with a hammer and then ground them in a mortar.
You can also use stones, they just have to be weak. When you rub them on another stone they need to leave a colored mark where the Material rubs off. Stones that don't do that are too hard for you to grind.
In my Region the stones are pretty hard but we have clay in the ground.
Raw clay gives a nice color, too.
@Dhanalein777 Thank you!! :D Man, that doesn't sound easy at all! But that's cool!
@Rincs just look a bit around you, if you keep your eyes open you will find a lot of stuff ! 😄👍
