- This episode I am making a Buckthorn Lake pigment know as Dutch Pink.
I will also be turning the pigment into an oil paint and doing some glazing with it.
If you want to get your own buckthorn berries to make this pigment check out the selection of lake making materials over at St Lukes

Brilliantly explained again. Just waited a month for some stil le grain from India......I was speechless how tiny amount there was, less than half an oxo cube. If in doubt diy, this is a great channel.
As somone fascinated by the history, lost craftsmanship and the science of pigments I love watching your videos. Plus your really handsome I gotta say.
I loved seeing the process evolve from making the pigment itself, to making that rich and buttery oil paint, and then finally, seeing it used as a glaze for your painting. It was fascinating and very beautiful, what a subtle and evocative colour... Thanks so much! PS, I'm really looking forward to the new course 🙂
This is the exact color I got when boiling down the red berries from Rhamnus crocea to a concentrate, except in the form of a water based wash. Makes sense since they are both in the buckthorn family. Beautiful golden tones. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your videos, sir! I really do enjoy watching the process and understanding it through the alchemical, spiritual way. Really, thank you!
Awesome videos! Very informative and cool to watch.
This is definitely one of the most interesting and informative channel I’ve ever found on TH-cam. Great stuff man thanks for sharing your knowledge!
When it comes to organic material, I was always under the impression that higher temperatures tend to destroy the color. But I agree with you, it could be the particle size that makes the color difference. I'm excited about the cobalt and manganese paints you'll be getting into!
Just found your channel. So, so cool! I’m a conservator, so am very much into the mix of science/art/art history. Excited to share your videos with my classmates in the Buffalo State conservation program.
Stil de grain… wow!! What a interesting work!! I really want to try it and also make some color swatch for a lightfast test. Thank you for this sharing 🙏
Is the buckthorn you are using different from sea buckthorn berries? This is a wonderful, informative video thank you for sharing ..your final glaze and painting is so beautiful I love the vintage look ..
Gamboge-esque!
I was researching the cost of instruments you are using. I found Haine’s Education to be cheaper then a science lab equipment site I found. But differences being Haines selling to schools and other company selling to labs. Where did you find the old equipment you use. I would love to take your online classes, however I can’t at present.
Hi, i'm loving your videos and the process of the extraction, and lake pigments. I have noticed you didn't add water to your calcium this time, and it seems a bit less where foam is concerned, did you do this because it was to much with the water/calcium? very curious, i have not watched them all, and i have done some familiar types of pigment making but i had started with wool dying, i am going to try this process because i am also a watercolor artist and my husband made me a "dye" garden with the dyers chamomile and madder, so am all set to do some fun stuff already :!) thanks for all your information here, very cool indeed!
Looking at your watercolor pigments class, and was wondering if you could add a hard materials list. Don't know if I can afford stir plates, etc., right now, and would like to go in knowing what kind of outlay in terms of cash, I would be looking at....
Ciao grazie per i tuoi video davvero istruttivi ed interessanti ... Volevo solo chiederti se ho capito bene ...hai aggiunto 3 gr di allume e 10 grammi di carbonato di calcio ? Grazie
Could you explain for us the laking process in another video? I have some genuine carmine (cochineal) but don't know how to make it into a workable pigment. Could I simply add it to a solution of hot alum? I don't want to waste this not very cheap carmine but not knowing how to work with it, I might just make a mess of it. Thank you - Jason Michael Adamik Fine Art
Could the hot pigment be darker than the cold one be because the chalk reacted and dissolved in the hot process but was left as a filler in the cold one?
how do you know how much chalk to use for each pigment? what do you do if precipitation isn’t occurring? also are you using literal chalk (crayola)?
Really appreciate the depth of information in these videos, thank you. I have a question about yield: I recently did a very rough lake extraction on 700g (just rinsed weight) of what I thought was Cota Tinctoria (Marguerite) flower heads, but actually turned out to be Argyranthemum frutescens (Marguerite). I used about 1L of water and a long slow extraction with the dyestuff first simmered for a few hours and then left in the pan in the sun for several days. I used probably a tablespoon of Alum and enough soda crystals to take the pH up to about 9. There seemed to be a lot of a strong yellow pigment precipitate but after filtering and drying my yield was a staggering 10g of dark yellow powder. Can I expect a higher yield using more common dyestuff with the same hack methods, or should I focus first on accuracy in my technique as a drive towards higher yields? Thanks again for putting your skills out there.
Use more alum and you will get a much higher yield. If you started with 700g fresh plant material maybe try 10% of that weight in alum so maybe 70g .
@@TheAlchemicalArts yes after going back and watching some of your other videos I realised I could have used a lot more alum! Oh well! It just seemed like there was so little dye potential in the liquid, but when I added the alum the first time I was shocked at how much solid there was precipitated. So that combined with my disappointment at discovering the true species of the 150-odd flower pots I had got my hands on, I didn't add any more. Except in order to try and balance the pH after adding the soda solution, but that was only the same amount again. Thanks very much for the advice!
Hi there! Wondering if you had any insights into a problem I frequently have. I follow a 10% alum 5% calcium carbonate recipe for lake pigments but they frequently don’t bubble or sizzle with the carbonate. Some pigment is extracted but the water still seems colorful and like I’m not extracting the full pigment potential. Any thoughts on what to do to fix? I noticed your proportions of alum/chalk are quite different and may bring some insight :) thank you for your videos!!
same here! i hope we will get an answer soon :)
If you are using a dried plant material aim for a little less than a 1:1 ratio by weight of plant material to alum and then precipitate with your alkali of choice.
I always wing it with my proportions. Sometimes I’ll end up with a solution that has to be laked a few times to get it really clean.
thanks for the videos! what is the name of the heater you use?
Its just a cheap hotplate and stirrer from ebay
How lightfast are these lake pigments? If I ever get back home to Tucson Az, I have ordered oak galls to try to make iron gall ink. Stuck in Texas waiting for a trailer going west. Should have been home now to start making it. So excited to give it a try. I made an ink with diluted black tea and gum arabic and stuff and put a sample in my window that gets LOTS of Arizona sun and it seems to be pretty lightfast after 6 months of direct sunlight.
Oak gall inks should be very lightfast. This one on the other hand I am not sure but all i have read about it seems to suggest it is not very light fast sadly.
This is what I want to know. 🙌
