Colors of Nature: Extracting Natural pigments from plants
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2020
- One of the things we can do to maximize our time with nature is to experiment with plant properties, and one fun way is to extract its colors and use it as paint! Here we experimented with a few leaves, flowers and herbs. You can work with materials and plants that are readily available to you. Feel free to explore, since nature is so limitless!

You deserve a million views.. awesome work ..very inspiring...pl do make more such videos
Thank you wo much! 🙏
I Love ur channel
Yes
Perhaps if you roasted or dryed the plants in the sun, powder them, then procceed with the rest of the steps it would have greater pigment? 🤔
probably. We will try that. But here the fun in the activity also includes the entire process from gathering of leaves, to finally aplying the colors. Just a short activity intended for younger kids, just for them to witness and experience the basics. =)
I think chemical reactions in the plants will make them darker, so when you powder them when they're dried the pigments are darker?
@@rabbitazteca23 good thinking!
Most of these plants would have already faded from the sun in the time it took to dry them in the sun. Plant dyes are almost all extremely fleeting in a few days or even hours. Indigo/woad, madder, walnut, and weld/goldenrod are almost the only exceptions. Even those will just last years, not really decades
I was thinking the same thing just for mys3 to do. Dehydrate the plant blend to a powder
I really appreciate your work here, liked your video.🧡♀️
A little note:
I used to make pigments from plants, flowers, fruits etc. But as she said it's just a good activity to do with your children. If you're an artist who wants their art to be the same even as the time passes, it's not really a good option for you. The color kinda turns into brownish toned colors.
Thank you for the tip! Yes will try another media for that. =)
Oh :'< i guess thats what taking a picture is for right?
Not like this yeah, if you want to have lasting pigments, you'll have to extract the pigments, mix it with alum and silica, and let it dry
Then use it with gum arabica
What could we as painters use instead?
The little singing at the beginning so happy to be painting. Sooo cute. Ty for this.
I love it. Precious colors from nature 💚
I love that you did this with your child! I want to do it with my grandchildren, who are of Central American heritage. I will try staining paper this way. Thank you for the inspiration!🙂
Super then background sound nice😍
Thank you for the beauty of Philippine nature and ingenuity!!! 💗🦋😍
You did a wonderful job and your Little one is so Precious! Good for you teaching her at a young age to look to Nature Like a ancestors.
What a cool way to make your own paint!!. I did n know it was that easy!! Love it so much!! Love and kiss from the Netherlands
Such a wonderful experiment and activity for anyone to do!! I’m going to have to try these in my area next spring when I take my dogs for walks!!!
Good job, ladies! I’m looking forward to using pigments from stones, but starting with petals is a really good one.
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying some UK plants and grass etc. 😂 I'm gonna try Bluebells as one of the first flowers i think. Haha! Need to get a book and write the plant next to the shade. Gonna be so fun!
If you boil it down it might become stronger, however the colors will most likely dull.
Wow so beautiful ♥️👏 I love the pigments I'll try it too thank you so much. The process is very exciting👏
This is great for water color paint 😍 I would love to do this with my nephew
Superb and unique method
What an excellent video, well done! I feel like making my own colors too, thank you!
I would also suggest trying to add additives such as gum arabic and citric acid to experiment with colour and consistency
Fabulous ❤️
lovely!
Amazing 🔥
Amazing!!❤️ Chemical free hands!!:)
Im loving the calm and serene vibe of this video. I may not have most of these plants where i live, but this video definitely helps with my ink making journey, planning on making many colours in the near future✨
I remember being like seven and taking bougainvilleas from my backyard and making pink water :)
So prettyyyy! I'd love to try this with plants that I can easily find here in the metro. 🥰
Really helpful video
Good work ❤
This was really cool! Did you try seeing if the transparent inks would show up under a black light or react to heat like lemon juice will? I'm also curious if these colors would get more vibrant if the water were allowed to evaporate for a few days or if they would just go bad.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤
Awesome, well done!!
I love this idea, will try ❤
Love it! ❤️

When they dried did they turn brown? I feel like that is what would happen? Did any dry down to the the same/'similar color as when they were wet ?
Superbbb

Great video 😁
Your family is so adorable
Wow I wanna make that too :)

Can you use this in clothes/fabric?
I am thinking of doing this using paint thinner. So I can mix it in white paints for wall paintings
Can be made for oil painting?
Tomorrow I plan to try this out so I hope it works , Thank you!
this looks amazing and I don't know why you don't have millions of veiws :)
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very good
Will this work on natural fabrics too?
Eyyy can I mix this to white wall paints?
This is great!! Do you think if you added lecithin when you add the honey it would make it thicker if you wanted something thicker than watercolor? I’m excited to try this !
I tried it with tiny yellow flowers and it gave me a dark yellow color but hey I like it
Edit:any way to make it thicker?
Can it be used in soap making
Hello is there any alternative for honey as a binder?
is it necessary to use mortar as pestle ?
Aside from honey, what can we add as binder?
Do you think, can they be preserved somehow so that they don't deteriorate? Also, is it possible to manage that the preservatives do not be synthetic?
Maybe with alum or chalk
do their colors remain after some time or they turn brown?
It remains ;)
It lasts longer than the original plant would, but it fades faster than commercial paints
Hello Im planning to make toys and mini house for my hamster. Are those plants edible and safe?
If i leave these to dry, will the pigments dry to the bottom?

Love this! Are you from the Philippines?
Would love to reach you for this.

Which type of paint that can be used to banana leaves that turn into different color? The banana leaves that passed through the fire.
Not the dried leaves and the fresh one.
How to preserve the paintings from fungal attack?
YOU HAVE DONE SUCH GOOD WORK KEEP IT UP
THE COLOURS THAT YOU MADE ARE NOT HARM FULL I AM ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT
THIS IS ALSO VERY INTERESTING
VERY VERY INSPIRING
one needs to put honey in all colors?
Just have in mind you can make natural pigments out of clay and rocks and any plant part by boiling it. (Boiling plants only)
can you make drawing with this colours 😊
Can't we use any other mordant rather than honey if don't have availability of it.
Honey is just binder or probabpy fixative, not mordant. Alum or copper sulfate will probably work as a mordant.
1:02 Is tge first one butcher needs? The auto generated subtitle doesn't catch what is said in the video. Purple mayana (painted nettle) leaves, blue ternate, bougainvillea, turmeric, cosmos flower orange and yellow
What if we don't have honey?
Did the honey intensify the color pigment ?
a little
Hi everyone from Mrs. Andrew's art class-
Why honey is added into it?
Will the colors get spoiled after some days?
The colors will turn into a brownish tone after a while
Can i drink the leftover paint it looks safe lol
What is the names of the leaf? Not the mayana one
Be careful what you touch in nature, though....I got a headache once from touching one. So just be careful x
Rocks can be used to
"Pour it and continue pounding"
Your voice sound like wengie's voice
If you don't add water to it, you will get dark colours. It requires more leafs or flowers :)
Make sure to thank the plant while harvesting
What is the blue flower, again? CC says "butcher needs" 😹
I was like Okay i can use these method to exctract color pigments from plants and use it to paint things till i saw step 6
