    Fun fact: of the ingredients used here, sodium carbonate is the only one that doesn't have a Minecraft equivalent. Gunpowder has the sulfur and carbon, and any given clay deposit may or may not be kaolin. Steve? would have the technology to make his own lapis lazuli, if he could only get some sodium carbonate. And, presumably, get rid of the potassium nitrate from the gunpowder.

    I am an artist. I think your mindset is very good for someone that wants to learn. Your first try is also very good. I admire that your ability to take in information and try to channel it back out of your brain, as well as your ability to improvise and work on your feet - those qualities make for a good artist. I also love that you used the clay flour to make sand texture. I really hope you keep trying, whether with homemade paints or bought ones. Keep finding videos and tutorials on TH-cam. Make a mood board with artists or vibes you like and try to understand what you like about them so you can do the same. Good luck, friend!

    Very good pigment. You should compare your paint to some artists ultramarine paint, you’re very close. They use something called a ‘muller’ to ensure every particle is coated with oil; to avoid a gritty texture.

    I've made metakaolin before, in the exact same type of furnace - it was to use it as a pozzolan in a specialty cement composition. I've considered making ultramarine too but after looking at the complexity and failure rate, and also seeing how cheap synthetic ultramarine is to buy online, I ended up doing the latter. :)
    If you want another pigment project, why not take onto the first synthetic pigment ever made that dates back to ancient Egypt: Egyptian blue. It involves a similar "baking" project, with the added complexity that the results will differ depending on the ratios of the components and temperatures you bake them at. I have done it using equipment very similar to yours.

    Fantastic all the way through! Ultramarine is my favorite color and pigment, and I've always wanted to explore the chemistry of it! You may be interested in knowing that vibrant blue grade ultramarine pigment powder sells quite well online to people looking to mull and mix their own paints, so if you need a way to fund more chemistry you might want to attempt making a bunch of ultramarine powder for sale. Also, I too spent literally decades immersed in STEM but wanting to do art, it's never too late, but it's so rewarding once you get into it that I definitely you give a consistent place in your life. We all make shit paintings at first, but it's finding that we enjoy doing it that is most important. Besides, you'll be able to make your own pigments for the rest of your life, that's like every artist's secret desire. Keep painting and keep making awesome chem videos!

    I used to live about 30 km from a kaolin mine. There used to be a town called Edgar in the state of Florida, but little remains of it because it was built over a kaolin deposit. Last I checked it had a post office and some buildings associated with the mine, and a railroad spur that I think is still used to ship large quantities of kaolin out by rail.

    for a more pure/intense white, I like to use Titanium White myself.
    maybe as an extension of this series you could look at creating well known limited palettes, like the Zorn palette as an example?
    Or start to learn painting from the basics and continue making paint (and thus videos) as you need and are able to?
    let the science and art continue to merge! Also big props on being willing to share your first piece, that takes a different kind of guts.

    wow, I never though of a natural mineral like lapis lazuli can be synthesized, the blue looks great. Another nice blue pigment I am interesting in seen being made is copper phthalocyanine blue. It has a nice blue-cyan to it.

    WOOOW! The ground up Ultramarine was sooo pretty. To get exactly that color once it's wet will probably require some titanium dioxide.

    Excellent results. Beautiful pigment. I wonder how difficult it would be to synthesize back in da Vinci's day. Finding pure reagents would probably be the hardest part.

    @Amateur Chemistry Since you are into pigments now, how about making some Iron(III) Ferrocyanide also known as Ferric Ferrocyanide or Prussian Blue starting from Cyanuric Acid, which is used as a chlorine stabilizer for swimming pools, or from Amygdalin, which can be found inside the pits or seeds of certain fruits like 🍎, 🍒, 🍑 and others?

    The aim of alchemy was to turn base metals into gold, and somehow along the way mankind worked out how to turn base rocks into things as valuable as gold, which is why those things are now dirt cheap and gold is still valuable. Quite poetic.

    That "oily" feel from the clay is a deaired property in paper making, because it helps ro keep pages from sticking together, especially for magazines.
    Now, since its fairly temperature resisten, could this be used as a colouring agent in for a smoke device? I rhink that would be a nice experiment, eapecially if you used some preoxidised mix, but added rhw sulphur to that, to see if the burn process would produce the blue smoke while its burning.

    If you want good paint, you need to mix the pigment and oil in a ball mill.

    "Wow! That's really neat!"
    "Thank you. I hear the greats all started by trying to copy a master's work, so I'm going to try that too."
    "Oh? Which piece did you have in mind?"
