15:15 - The childlike pride in you're voice when you said, "But better _because they're mine_ -- I made the paint that went into the painting!" My heart just melted! 🥰 Hearing the _PURE JOY_ in your voice in this wrap up literally made my entire week! Keep up the great work! Love from Utah. 💕
ive seen people make watercolours with expired eyeshadow and I've been wishing to make some but I don't have the watercolour binders :( Butttt they look really nice and you should try make them!
Making binder is easier than the rest of the process. You can buy it already made but for the tiny amount you get, it’s so much cheaper to make your own. Very warm Distilled water, gum Arabic powder, a couple drops of clove oil as a preservative blend until powder is dissolved, place in glass container and lid, refrigerate. Can last 6 months to a year in fridge. I got my gum Arabic on Amazon. Many recipes on TH-cam for basic watercolor binder. When I out the liquified binder on the glass plate I like to add a couple drops of real honey, and/or a few drops of vegetable glycerin for making the resulting watercolor glide better. After mulling your pigment powder with the binder to a smooth consistency (all pigments take a different amount of time to achieve this) put into your WC pans to dry.
Start out with real pigments, at the very least crushed soft pastel. Good affordable brands to learn and start with, Jackson’s and Gamblin. And yes, get a glass muller!
It's a fun experiment but I hope people who try it are aware many makeup pigments (and some artist's pigments) aren't lightfast. Especially in watercolour. Lightfastness and archivability is something I wish more people were aware of, of course if you're just doing sketchbook experiments, it's less important, but still good to know.
We love seeing the mixing knife, glass muller, and roller mill apply the same forces (crush and shear stress) to different size batches of paint! We also enjoyed seeing how some of the knife-milled samples were "long" in body, kind of stringy. This is something that often surprises artists when they make handmade paint, because there are no fillers to "shorten" the product.
I have made quite a bit of oil paint. I can tell you that especially for the browns you need a muller and it takes forever to get a buttery texture. I literally spent 12 hours mulling a Venetian red to get it right.. Some of the cadmiums and finer pigments which tend towards the bright colors are easier to work with. I had always wondered about the Vallejo pigments, thanks for trying them. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be cool if he traveled to Japan or somewhere where they make those really gorgeous traditional paintings with traditional supplies and techniques and have a go learning alongside them? When he first put that deep red on the golden canvas, that’s all I could think of!
@@mistymane52 Here's hoping! That would require the overall world health situation to improve, but I'm looking forward to a lot of content creators to be able to go to Japan.
I love that craftsmanship too! And the process of traditional prints as well, making the laid paper and the inks and even the printing process T w T perfection
It would be totally "Jazza" to experiment with grinding down stones and stuff to make pigments too. (Although in this case getting his staff to research tools and suitable materials would REALLY help) And... who else wants to see Jazza have fun learning how to mix paint from SkillShare classes? Or other truly expert teaching sources? The results Jazza gets when he fully understands something is astonishing!
He should create a universe from a single point of matter, then wait for planets to form materials and then locate the rocks and make oil paint from the extracted pigment
When I was in college, we had a professor that taught us how to make all of our art supplies from scratch. The paper was awesome and the pastels worked beautifully. I have taught a couple of younger people to do the same and their work is phenomenal. Keep going in this direction... If you need my input, I am always here my friend.
As a professional Paintmaker......... You made me so happy and so frustrated by doing this. Using Cad-pigments without gloves or mask??? I really hope they were the inert synthetic Cadmium pigments and not true Cad pigments. I'm so glad you got to experience the satisfaction that is paintmaking. Next time try storing your excess oil paint in empty paint tubes, you'll be able to use your paints again and not have to make them every time you want to use your own handmade paint.
@@ImprovisionFilm Their website says that the pigment used is PR108 - Cadmium Selphoselenide. A synthetic pigment that contains cadmium. It's fairly safe to use in paint form, but not something you'd want to dump out into a pile onto a table as a dry pigment. He does wear a mask later in the video, I'm imagining some one said somethin along the lines of "What the hell are you doing?!?"
@@coreymorse1347 I know nothing about paint and pigments. I was curious when I read the comments. Thank you for your insight. :) I guess you should probably always wear ppe when working with small particles.
@@ImprovisionFilm That's generally the best option. Even for the stuff without warnings on the label you're better off not inhaling the fine powdered version. Maybe the lack of warning means it really is safe or maybe it just means it hasn't been tested enough, or not tested for the right thing.
Every time I see Jazza work with oils I am delighted. I was trained in how to use them starting at a young age so I’m quite rigid in my approaches sometimes - it’s delightful to watch someone discover the medium organically ❤️ two quick things: i can’t tell if jazza ever does this in his oil videos but you use linseed oil to control the consistency of tube oil paints as well (to thin them out) and also if you want to try working without the wet to wet technique it’s great to tone your canvas first. Mix an appropriate mid tone, add turp until you get a soupy consistency, apply to canvas liberally and then buff off excess with soft cloth or paper towel, then let dry completely, bam! Toned canvas. Happy painting!
Jazza is honestly just amazing. He’s like the #1 person I go to whenever I need inspiration or just a kick to start something. All of his art is absolutely phenomenal and I can’t wait ‘till I’m, some day, good enough to even ATTEMPT anything he’s made. Jazza, I hope you know how inspirational you are!
I wouldn't say Jazza is an expert in any of his experimental videos. But his basic understanding of art (line, color, composition, etc) along with his desire to experiment, are what allow him to do these amazing pieces. If you got the basics go for it, that's how you get better.
Using a muller (that glass thing) is very important when making watercolour, as it really blends the pigment and the binder together as well as makes the pigment particles finer. This causes less granulation, better flow, and increases vibrancy a lot. So it's really interesting to see it not being quite as essential a part of making oil paint! Still, if you want to use one, you could also look for replacements like for example a sturdy vase if it's shaped right 👀
He got a bit lucky because those commercial pigments are already super finely ground. If you're making your own from plantstuffs or whatever, mulling does some of the grinding work and it will look like a muddy gritty mess without it, yeah. I'm sure he will find that out if he tries making his own pigments
Would love to see you have a go at making and using other traditional paints such as tempera (made from egg yolk), tempera grassa (a combination of tempera and oil) and even paints used in prehistoric cave paintings (made from spit or animal fat).
I would LOVE to see you try making paints with pigments you make yourself, you can make "Lake Pigments" out of practically anything. I made pigments out of walnuts, dandelions, avocados, and red cabbage. It was really fun to do and I would love to see you try it :D
I don't think he's patient enough or follows instructions enough to do real chemistry in this format (lake pigments), but crushing up some ochres from natural form or charcoal seems like this channel. Mixing a watercolor binder would also be a low-grade "eyeballing it" kind of this-channel speed detail to add
There's a TH-camr I like watching at times named pearfleur who gets some of her paints as chips first, then grinds them to powder before adding the oil to paint with them. The crunch of the paint being grounded is one of life's most satisfying noises, lol! I have several of her videos on a playlist I use for helping me to fall asleep.
A cool thing to investigate would be foraging raw pigment from nature, I have seen people grind down rocks that are red from iron oxide for example. You can also make watercolors from soaking parts of plants in water to extract color
Boiling plants is a necessary step, but can't make watercolors, watercolors need solid pigments just like oil paint does, not dyes. You need to follow a chemical precipitation process to turn dyes into pigments first (Called "laking"), which requires some additional equipment and chemicals and stuff. You then have to mull it with a watercolor binder with gum arabic and other things. If you just boil the plants alone you can make art with that, but it would just be an "ink" not a paint.
My friend, Connie (may she rest in peace) used pigments and egg yolks to make egg tempera. I have the picture she painted hanging in my front room, but I'm probably going to move it into my bedroom - where my computer is - so I can look at it more. I have to say, seeing her pick up an egg yolk with her fingers without popping it was amazing.
I get that he's a full-grown Adult, but his childish reactions and excitement just make my heart fucking melt. Not melt as in like a loving way, but like a melting feeling you get when you see a puppy catch a ball mid-air for the first time and it's so proud of itself. Never stop being you Jazza
A suggestion: I've seen videos of an oil paint that instead of being liquid, it's thick and airy, like a meringue. Adds a sculptural element to a flat painting.
These are absolutely my favorite type of Jazz’s video. Ones where he try’s something new on his own then research’s it then does it big. It’s so fun learning along with him.
Yeah, I've been making my own glow gouache (and it's tremendous therapy to make my own paint. (Now, I'm also working with a lot of historical pigments, so there's a lot of caution involved - masks, gloves, etc.)
Glow gouache? 😳 that sounds like fun! I'm making watercolour paints, but have started to look into making some gouache too as the selection locally is near non-existant. However I'm being thrown in a loop between info saying to use chalk and others just any white pigment. I cannot find chalk for the purpose, and surely white pigment would change the colour... 🥲 anyhow, going off to have a look at how glow gouache looks now 😄
There is egg white tempura paint. You use the pigment and egg whites to make a tempura paint. In my college painting class, they had us make our own canvases. It was fun finding the right fabric and wood for the canvas. It was fun to prime and paint on. I never finished the painting on the canvas, but I keep it because I made the canvas.
it's a pain but i love the texture it gives a piece, something kinda missing with many other drawing arts. something that NEEDS to be seen in person to fully appreciate the jurney of the piece itself, and not just the endpoint
There's a channel called Peter Brown. He does everything you can think of with resin. He has a series where he takes suggestions from comments for potential resin pigments. He has used things like kool-aid, cheeto dust, mustard, etc. Maybe you could do something similar for oil paints🙂
Well, you know the most important step already, use a drying oil. Linseed, tung, and about a billion others are drying oils. What I as well as the Japanese artisans use to waterproof a wagasa/bangasa. It "dries" (oxidizes) into a plastic like substance.
I love oil paint. Everyone said use acrylic getting started but I love the richness of the colors of oil right away. I don't paint anymore because everyone just puts me to shame really. I have no formal training, I just love it. Artist I feel are strangely beautiful themselves and I've always resonated with that being an oddball myself.
I'm a big fan of lead white. It is the most reliable, stable and lightfast pigment there is. I used to buy it from Old Holland and Michael Harding at ridiculous prices because of the import tax here in Romania, but now I make my own. I managed to legally buy some small sheets from a company that makes dental x-ray insulation at a good price. I live in a house and I have access to a relatively big yard. I usually do it in the summer. I make some lead spirals, put it in boxes with vinegar and yeast and let it sit. When it's time to harvest I take precautions with masks and gloves and put it in water as to work as little as possible with dry flakes. I wash it several times and I take the resulting lead acetate to a company that recycles and disposes of car batteries. I filter the harvest by weight using water so I make three types of pigment - heavy medium and light, light being the purest. I put the pigments in small plastic boxes and let them sit in the sun to dry completely. After this step, normally the pigment powder should be ground further using a mill but I don't have one, so I just use an electric coffee grinder. I usually only grind enough to make oil paint to fill an aluminum tube. After that I just mull it with walnut oil on a marble slab for a decent amount of time and in the tube it goes at which point it is safe to use as long as I don't smear it on my face :). After two years I've made enough pigment to last me probably a full decade, so I'm happy. I keep the pigment rock in sealed plastic containers. It is truly a wonderful pigment.
There's an account I follow on tiktok that turns old expired eyeshadow pallets that they were donated into water colour paints which I find very satisfying. Also just getting the glass muller for the visual ASMR should be a priority for next time :P
Absolutely love this! Jazza nerding out watching how oil paint is made is just perfection. What a perfect video that reminds me of every reason I love watching this channel!
Get a muller and make more oil paint please 🥺🙏. I love seeing you this excited and happy in a video. You are becoming a right propper oil painter and it's so nice to be along for the journey.
I *love* watching Oil Painting because of the textures that end up in the final pieces! Seeing the strokes and how it all works together after a few steps back is so satisfying! The same goes for the final product here!!
Seeing how much you enjoyed this project made it even more enjoyable to watch. 😊 I agree with everyone else, you need the muller. I'd love to see you make watercolours too. 😊
I think this would be a great reason to collab with Andy from How To Make Everything. You can source your own pigments, and maybe oils too. In the end you would make a wonderful piece of art.
I've never made oil paints, but I have done watercolours, and it's *very* satisfying. I mixed my pigments with gum arabic (fixative), honey (humectant), and clove oil (preservative) and it was So. Much. Fun.
It's really satisfying watching different colours mixing on rollers for printing etc. Maybe even using the powder/oil mix and cramming it through a pasta machine to get a perfectly mixed colour? And then scraping it off, or just doing a print of some sort? Thinking out loud. Have fun 👍
I mean, someone has to ask for you to do an oil painting of your custom Warhammer army. Would be interesting to do it with the concrete colouring as well.
This was so cool to see. I don't know if I'll ever do this for primaries, but experimenting with other pigments (metalics come to mind) to see how they work with the oil medium sounds fascinating.
Anyone remember back at school they had the big paint tins of pigment and at the start of art lesson you’d have to mix it up with water to make your paints? Stuff was always lumpy but that chalky paint smell is still engrained in my brain 😂
That mixing was SO satisfying: not just the paint making itself but also when you used the colors you made to mix for the colors you needed! I kept thinking “that’s such a small amount on the palette, how is that enough?!” But it was like the loaves and fishes and managed to cover that whole canvas! 🤯
I’d love to see you try painting other characters like Spyro (or anyone else from his games) or maybe even a few Skylanders… you want a cool character for Halloween? The Skylander Hex works great 👍 she’s insanely powerful, and has an awesome design!
You can even go deeper with the oil paint enthusiasm by looking into art history and seeing all the various natural sources that people used to make oil paints over the centuries. People used to use the weirdest and most genius natural materials to make so many pigments and they varied in how rare the materials were that you had to use. It’s fascinating stuff, man.
Wow Jazza your painting of jinx is amazing! The paint colors are so vibrant and look amazing together! And the process of making the paint was so satisfying to watch. I would love to see you mess around with other pigments and stuff it would be a lot of fun!
If you give oil painting another go, maybe you could copy the painting of the Noxian ships that Mel Medarda paints in Arcane. Or something in that realm of creativity
I really appreciate that you let us see the process, even the art pieces that didn't quite turn out how you imagined! It helps me feel not so down on myself when things don't turn out how I thought :D
I loved the excitement on his face when he watched the paint mixing! My passion is crochet and I get equally as excited when I see colourful balls of yarn being spun LOL
I've made my own watercolors before using micas from tkbtrading. I have an entire pallet of what just looks like sparkly white paint, but then you lay it down on black paper and it's instant rainbows, so magical! I use the recipe with the gum Arabic, glycerin, honey, clove oil, and water. The clove oil makes it smell really good if you like black licorice, it's really subtle.
I love to see when Jazza fails... amkes it more.. I goess human?... sounds stupid but always seeing good artwork makes me think I'm bad at art.. the fails make me hope hat I can get better
Wow. That edit of the sketching and painting process was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen or heard, jazza never fails to amaze me but bravo bravo👏
When Jazza said the red overpowers. It reminded me of multicolor dyeing wool. It’s been years (probably over 20) but I remember using very very little of the magenta and purple, blue would be a bit more, and yellow would be TON. I used to premix the powders in mordanted water then pour it on wet wool. If you balance it right you can get skein or fleece with what feels like every color imaginable. Key was always more yellow then you think you need.
Fantastic! I bought some pigment today and came home to look up how to make paint and here was this video in my recommended list! I really like your playful attitude and use what you’ve got approach. I really hope you do make other paints as well. Especially gouache.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?! now that you’ve got this you have control of the opacities of the paints for easier blending highlights and transition shades 😍 ::chefs kiss:: going to go mix some up right now
A bit, but opacity tends to be more about the pigment used. A lot of organic ones are much better at glazing, and stuff like iron oxide or chrome oxide he had there is very opaque and chalky
One of the easiest pigments you can make from scratch, is Lamp Black. How I made mine (because I use it for making like a gouache for my medieval illuminations), you get a candle, two spoons, and something to store the pigment in. Light the candle, and hold one of the spoons over the flame to collect the soot. Once your spoon is black with the soot, use the 2nd spoon to scrape it off into the container. It's a long process - and I do mean at least 2 hours of collecting enough for one batch - yet it's all satisfyingly relaxing. From there, if you want to make it into an oil paint, just do what you did with the others. I highly recommend getting a muller though, and a glass or granite surface to mull your paint, cuz the muller will help grind and pulverize any grit you might still have in there. Good luck! ☺️
I used to be an artist at Coalport pottery, and we had to mix all our own paints, we'd just do small batches as and when we needed it constantly throughout the day, you want a nice, long and thin mixing knife which is very flexible really, none of the knives you used were for mixing paint so that doesn't help, and you really need to get stuck in and work it, move the knife much faster and push down on it more too, that really helps to get a nice and smooth consistency quickly, and we'd always mix on a nice big slab of glass.
As an anxious perfectionist, I really enjoy that you show your 'failed' experimental processes when trying new things with your art. Sometimes I watch these videos and think every single piece is perfect-- it's good to know that even at your skill level, that isn't realistic.
THAT IS SOOOOO COOOOLLL !!!! Im not good with oil paints but watching the process of you making the paints AND the painting WAS SO SATISFYING and it makes me want to give oil paints a go again !!!!
i feel the same way when i make my own paper for origmai, u feel more connected to the end product, like i made this from the very beginning! i didnt just fold an origami model, but i also made he paper! Great video jazza! Keep up the good work!
Pretty cool that you made this video. Making colorants are my specialty. Ball milling or Netzsch milling will get you good consistency but all of it is based on particle size, oil absorption, and surface area of the pigment.
Thank you so much for mentioning my channel! What a nice surprise. 💫
Oui ça l' air intéressant!!!

I get that he's a full-grown Adult, but his childish reactions and excitement just make my heart fucking melt. Not melt as in like a loving way, but like a melting feeling you get when you see a puppy catch a ball mid-air for the first time and it's so proud of itself. Never stop being you Jazza
A suggestion: I've seen videos of an oil paint that instead of being liquid, it's thick and airy, like a meringue. Adds a sculptural element to a flat painting.
These are absolutely my favorite type of Jazz’s video. Ones where he try’s something new on his own then research’s it then does it big. It’s so fun learning along with him.
Yeah, I've been making my own glow gouache (and it's tremendous therapy to make my own paint. (Now, I'm also working with a lot of historical pigments, so there's a lot of caution involved - masks, gloves, etc.)
Glow gouache? 😳 that sounds like fun! I'm making watercolour paints, but have started to look into making some gouache too as the selection locally is near non-existant. However I'm being thrown in a loop between info saying to use chalk and others just any white pigment. I cannot find chalk for the purpose, and surely white pigment would change the colour... 🥲 anyhow, going off to have a look at how glow gouache looks now 😄
Cesar Santo is an Art god…his paintings are amazing
I used glass electrical insulators for my smasher. Worked great.
There is egg white tempura paint. You use the pigment and egg whites to make a tempura paint. In my college painting class, they had us make our own canvases. It was fun finding the right fabric and wood for the canvas. It was fun to prime and paint on. I never finished the painting on the canvas, but I keep it because I made the canvas.
wooo, i love watching people make paints like this its so relaxing ^^
Me too!
I love that you are always supporting other TH-cam artists by linking their videos
I'm not a fan of oil paint in my art personally but it's definitely satisfying to watch. Great Arcane painting!
it's a pain but i love the texture it gives a piece, something kinda missing with many other drawing arts. something that NEEDS to be seen in person to fully appreciate the jurney of the piece itself, and not just the endpoint
You know you’re not an oil painter when you just now discover that cadmium red is easily overpowering
You know you're a jackoff when you go into other artists videos with stupid critiques
There's a channel called Peter Brown. He does everything you can think of with resin. He has a series where he takes suggestions from comments for potential resin pigments. He has used things like kool-aid, cheeto dust, mustard, etc. Maybe you could do something similar for oil paints🙂
I was thinking the same thing! It’s one of my favorite series on his channel.
Well, you know the most important step already, use a drying oil. Linseed, tung, and about a billion others are drying oils. What I as well as the Japanese artisans use to waterproof a wagasa/bangasa. It "dries" (oxidizes) into a plastic like substance.
I love oil paint. Everyone said use acrylic getting started but I love the richness of the colors of oil right away. I don't paint anymore because everyone just puts me to shame really. I have no formal training, I just love it. Artist I feel are strangely beautiful themselves and I've always resonated with that being an oddball myself.
Hi Jazza, I love your videos, thank you for all your amazing content.
I'm a big fan of lead white. It is the most reliable, stable and lightfast pigment there is. I used to buy it from Old Holland and Michael Harding at ridiculous prices because of the import tax here in Romania, but now I make my own. I managed to legally buy some small sheets from a company that makes dental x-ray insulation at a good price. I live in a house and I have access to a relatively big yard. I usually do it in the summer. I make some lead spirals, put it in boxes with vinegar and yeast and let it sit. When it's time to harvest I take precautions with masks and gloves and put it in water as to work as little as possible with dry flakes. I wash it several times and I take the resulting lead acetate to a company that recycles and disposes of car batteries.
I filter the harvest by weight using water so I make three types of pigment - heavy medium and light, light being the purest. I put the pigments in small plastic boxes and let them sit in the sun to dry completely. After this step, normally the pigment powder should be ground further using a mill but I don't have one, so I just use an electric coffee grinder. I usually only grind enough to make oil paint to fill an aluminum tube. After that I just mull it with walnut oil on a marble slab for a decent amount of time and in the tube it goes at which point it is safe to use as long as I don't smear it on my face :).
After two years I've made enough pigment to last me probably a full decade, so I'm happy. I keep the pigment rock in sealed plastic containers. It is truly a wonderful pigment.
There's an account I follow on tiktok that turns old expired eyeshadow pallets that they were donated into water colour paints which I find very satisfying.
Also just getting the glass muller for the visual ASMR should be a priority for next time :P
That sounds interesting! What’s the account named?
Kudos to Gareth for filming that painting montage! Some of those macro shots were GORGEOUS! Bravo 🙂
Love your videos jazza and happy late birthday! 🎂
Absolutely love this! Jazza nerding out watching how oil paint is made is just perfection. What a perfect video that reminds me of every reason I love watching this channel!
Fun fact, adding a bit of blue to white, makes it a more intense white. So you did well doing blue first!
Get a muller and make more oil paint please 🥺🙏. I love seeing you this excited and happy in a video. You are becoming a right propper oil painter and it's so nice to be along for the journey.
Is that me or anyone else miss Jazza drawing his avatar...seems like a long time😅
He has compensated by looking like his avatar again. :D
@@dustintroxel6044 lol😅
Yeahhhh
I love his old intro
I *love* watching Oil Painting because of the textures that end up in the final pieces! Seeing the strokes and how it all works together after a few steps back is so satisfying! The same goes for the final product here!!
Please make your own watercolors next!! This was so fun!
Happy late birthday Jazza we really appreciate the time and work you put into these videos keep it going man
People mixing colours so competently and effortlessly is like witchcraft to me.
Like how?!
Woah! Such a cool idea! I’ve never made any type of art supplies!!! Now you’ve got me thinking 🤔
“That’s a good tip!”
That was a good pun haha. You should try this again but with RAW materials processed into pigments
Watching him with the bigger knife flattening the consistency, reminds me of those oddly pleasant ice cream shaving videos.
Seeing how much you enjoyed this project made it even more enjoyable to watch. 😊
I agree with everyone else, you need the muller. I'd love to see you make watercolours too. 😊
I feel like you have superpowers, you can successfully do anything on your first try
Yes you can!
Props to Rae! Love that you acknowledge other artists and celebrate them in your own way. Your channel's a family favorite
I think this would be a great reason to collab with Andy from How To Make Everything. You can source your own pigments, and maybe oils too. In the end you would make a wonderful piece of art.
I've never made oil paints, but I have done watercolours, and it's *very* satisfying.
I mixed my pigments with gum arabic (fixative), honey (humectant), and clove oil (preservative) and it was So. Much. Fun.
You ain't telling me Jazza didnt use Arleebean, the QUUUUUEEEEEEEENNNN of home made paints on youtube :o
It's really satisfying watching different colours mixing on rollers for printing etc. Maybe even using the powder/oil mix and cramming it through a pasta machine to get a perfectly mixed colour? And then scraping it off, or just doing a print of some sort? Thinking out loud. Have fun 👍
I mean, someone has to ask for you to do an oil painting of your custom Warhammer army. Would be interesting to do it with the concrete colouring as well.
This was so cool to see. I don't know if I'll ever do this for primaries, but experimenting with other pigments (metalics come to mind) to see how they work with the oil medium sounds fascinating.
Anyone remember back at school they had the big paint tins of pigment and at the start of art lesson you’d have to mix it up with water to make your paints? Stuff was always lumpy but that chalky paint smell is still engrained in my brain 😂
It seems so satisfying to mix up your own colors
I was watching this thinking, "Isn't that the same medium Mel painted with in Arcane?" And then you said you're painting Jinx. My mind was blown.
That mixing was SO satisfying: not just the paint making itself but also when you used the colors you made to mix for the colors you needed!
I kept thinking “that’s such a small amount on the palette, how is that enough?!” But it was like the loaves and fishes and managed to cover that whole canvas! 🤯
I’d love to see you try painting other characters like Spyro (or anyone else from his games) or maybe even a few Skylanders… you want a cool character for Halloween? The Skylander Hex works great 👍 she’s insanely powerful, and has an awesome design!
You can even go deeper with the oil paint enthusiasm by looking into art history and seeing all the various natural sources that people used to make oil paints over the centuries. People used to use the weirdest and most genius natural materials to make so many pigments and they varied in how rare the materials were that you had to use. It’s fascinating stuff, man.
In the next episode; Jazza’s growing a olive tree to produce his paint from the ground up!
Also, he gets a mullet.
Wow Jazza your painting of jinx is amazing! The paint colors are so vibrant and look amazing together! And the process of making the paint was so satisfying to watch. I would love to see you mess around with other pigments and stuff it would be a lot of fun!
Prepare ourselves for the first comment and the we can all appreciate his content comment
Oh my god yesss!!!!! I've watched watercolour making asmr videos for a while and the mulling is so satisfying
If you give oil painting another go, maybe you could copy the painting of the Noxian ships that Mel Medarda paints in Arcane. Or something in that realm of creativity
Wow wow wow that looks so smooth and glossy and the colours just pop I think making your own was amazing
Does... does Jazza know what meringue looks like?
I really appreciate that you let us see the process, even the art pieces that didn't quite turn out how you imagined! It helps me feel not so down on myself when things don't turn out how I thought :D
it cant just be me who thinks the paint looks delicious right?
...right?
Like ice cream
Yea!
almost like playdough mmmm
gingerpale made a short video that was just an animation of animators eating paint. You are on to something!
Reminded me of watching people make rolled ice cream a little bit
I loved the excitement on his face when he watched the paint mixing! My passion is crochet and I get equally as excited when I see colourful balls of yarn being spun LOL
Next make your own brushes, and then pigments and oil; finally, after all of that make your own canvas to have an artwork that's all you
I've made my own watercolors before using micas from tkbtrading. I have an entire pallet of what just looks like sparkly white paint, but then you lay it down on black paper and it's instant rainbows, so magical! I use the recipe with the gum Arabic, glycerin, honey, clove oil, and water. The clove oil makes it smell really good if you like black licorice, it's really subtle.
I love to see when Jazza fails... amkes it more.. I goess human?... sounds stupid but always seeing good artwork makes me think I'm bad at art.. the fails make me hope hat I can get better
Wow. That edit of the sketching and painting process was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen or heard, jazza never fails to amaze me but bravo bravo👏
He did it exactly right… so satisfying to watch!
When Jazza said the red overpowers. It reminded me of multicolor dyeing wool. It’s been years (probably over 20) but I remember using very very little of the magenta and purple, blue would be a bit more, and yellow would be TON. I used to premix the powders in mordanted water then pour it on wet wool. If you balance it right you can get skein or fleece with what feels like every color imaginable. Key was always more yellow then you think you need.
Fantastic! I bought some pigment today and came home to look up how to make paint and here was this video in my recommended list! I really like your playful attitude and use what you’ve got approach. I really hope you do make other paints as well. Especially gouache.
I will play 9:55 whenever I'm feeling down and imagine that Jazza is talking directly to me.
I've been suggesting the next art box you put out be a paint making kit with the ability to make oil, acrylic AND watercolour for so long!
CAN YOU IMAGINE?! now that you’ve got this you have control of the opacities of the paints for easier blending highlights and transition shades 😍 ::chefs kiss:: going to go mix some up right now
A bit, but opacity tends to be more about the pigment used. A lot of organic ones are much better at glazing, and stuff like iron oxide or chrome oxide he had there is very opaque and chalky
One of the easiest pigments you can make from scratch, is Lamp Black. How I made mine (because I use it for making like a gouache for my medieval illuminations), you get a candle, two spoons, and something to store the pigment in.
Light the candle, and hold one of the spoons over the flame to collect the soot. Once your spoon is black with the soot, use the 2nd spoon to scrape it off into the container. It's a long process - and I do mean at least 2 hours of collecting enough for one batch - yet it's all satisfyingly relaxing.
From there, if you want to make it into an oil paint, just do what you did with the others.
I highly recommend getting a muller though, and a glass or granite surface to mull your paint, cuz the muller will help grind and pulverize any grit you might still have in there.
Good luck! ☺️
as a paint maker: this video is so cool! and it's awesome to see you discover all the pro's about making the paints yourself
I don't know what was more satisfying you making the paint or you using them.
I used to be an artist at Coalport pottery, and we had to mix all our own paints, we'd just do small batches as and when we needed it constantly throughout the day, you want a nice, long and thin mixing knife which is very flexible really, none of the knives you used were for mixing paint so that doesn't help, and you really need to get stuck in and work it, move the knife much faster and push down on it more too, that really helps to get a nice and smooth consistency quickly, and we'd always mix on a nice big slab of glass.
As an anxious perfectionist, I really enjoy that you show your 'failed' experimental processes when trying new things with your art. Sometimes I watch these videos and think every single piece is perfect-- it's good to know that even at your skill level, that isn't realistic.
Abstract is like the jazz of the art world
THAT IS SOOOOO COOOOLLL !!!! Im not good with oil paints but watching the process of you making the paints AND the painting WAS SO SATISFYING and it makes me want to give oil paints a go again !!!!
I love watching pearfleur making oil paint. She adds honey to hers.
Watching you experiment and try out new things really helps me as an artist and gives me the confidence to try things 🥰
I've been waiting for you to post again so I was so excited when I saw this and I wasn't disappointed
I forgot how wholesome Jazza and the community are. Good to be back yall, and enjoying the chill chaos vibes of the recent videos.
i feel the same way when i make my own paper for origmai, u feel more connected to the end product, like i made this from the very beginning! i didnt just fold an origami model, but i also made he paper! Great video jazza! Keep up the good work!
Pretty cool that you made this video. Making colorants are my specialty. Ball milling or Netzsch milling will get you good consistency but all of it is based on particle size, oil absorption, and surface area of the pigment.
I love watching u work with oils!!!
