Two new pieces up for sale in my Etsy shop
I had so much fun with these
I mixed up my own oil paint
with a combination of
earth pigments and linseed oil
or for the blue natural indigo powder
and I added the pigment to cold wax medium
which I make myself
beeswax and pure gum turpentine
I geesoed up some 300gsm watercolour paper
then taped them to the glass tabletop
and built up layers of colour
patiently waiting between
for them to dry
Until one day I looked
and said
that's it
finished
I do believe there shall be more

Looking good, amazing that you make your own pigments. So clever.
Sorry to disappoint you Penny but I buy my pigments. I just make sure they are made of earth. I do hope one day to make my own but now is not the right time.
trace these are so good. i love what you're doing and it's rubbed off: sunday i was out at a rock cut rubbing ochre on my little handmade sheets of hosta paper! you are inspiration!
I would love to be working with my own ochre Velma, glad to be able to inspire, Have you seen the images Dorothy Caldwell did? Just wait till you start mixing the ochre with different mediums to see what a difference it makes. Such fun
