I cant believe I found my self so entreated on the whole prosses, this is ancient technology to make paint ( with help of modern things sure) but still, Wow, thanks for the video.
Great video very informative. I would like to try making some of my own pigment from both lapis lazuli and turquoise. Can you give details on you grinder? Lasrence
This is obviously fake. To make lapis pigment of that color grade, you need to use the bees wax process, and it takes quite a bit more time than this video shows. The robo voice also doesn't help.....
@@etienne7774 Not sure who that is. Attila Gazo of Master pigments uses the beeswax process. What is shown here is how to make ultramarine ash, which tends to have a lot of calcite inclusions and is lighter and more grey than purified ultra can be. I have no idea what is meant by the first part of your statement....
Micheal harding lapis lazuli paints are made with pigment not lapis lazuli powder, even highest quality lapis lazuli has pyrite, calcite ,silicate and it has to be removed through process, micheal hardings use pigment of lapis lazuli which is cleaned from all those impurities.
I’ve experimented with kilos lapis over multiple years, and I’ve realised if u use better purity lapis lazuli and don’t over grind the powder u get a very high quality color. U can see this in my videos, when ever I tried doing the long process I realised it wasn’t that effective as I thought it would be and ur losing a lot of the pigment

That process is false, meant to mislead. And Michael harding also doesn't use that process.

Thank you. Ive been searching trying to learn why the original process was so difficult. You are the first to explain in this much detail.

Michael Harding Lapis lazuli oil for 40ml is $140 The larger one is $500
U r missing a step that is why theirs cost a lot more, the expensive one is more refined.
This is funny. They skipped, like, most of the steps.
Is not it simple?
Some things do be do like they do
