I'm the grandmother of a five-year-old and I sincerely hope she grows up to be as beautifully sensitive as you are, dear Caro. I wish you well on your journey into your creative process. May it long bring you peace of mind and joy :)
Do you know there’s a lot of other mediums 🎨🖌you can make from scratch, not only watercolour: you can make paint from many different natural things (I actually wrote a book with 50 paint recipes 🌈😊 in French) Beware, it’s important to wear a mask and gloves when working with some matters. Natural doesn’t necessary means harmless!! 🚨🚨🚨
I watch a woman who sometimes uses stone to make makeup. She wears masks when shes grinding yhe stone dust. Something to consider? I think the dust can get into your lungs.
Thank you this helped me feel calm and helped me feel inspired to start making water colours again. Please keep making videos like this they help soooo much
This is really lovely and something I have wanted to explore, at the moment I'm experimenting with plant dyes on fabric. Caro please look into to safety aspect of grinding the rocks, I think you are meant to wear a mask whilst doing it. Jonna Jinton on here also uses earth pigments, if you haven't come across her before.
I love this, it resonates with me. Your explanation of attunement with your craft, the rhythmic feeling during every step is exactly how I feel when I process a fleece, prep it, spin it, then naturally dye it. I am in the beginning of my watercolor journey and am leaning towards natural pigments. Thank you for sharing your journey
this was so great. i went to France a few years ago and picked up pigment made from land there in the mountains. i forgot i have them. now i need to see about creating the paint!
Wow! How exciting. I so want to do this. You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you so much for sharing your natural pigment journey with us. Your such an inspiration 😊🙏💛
Thank you for your meditative and creative video !!! The connection and respect with Mother Earth is the most important for me in this amazing project!! I will soon start making mine too..
I toyed with egg tempera years ago, didn't like the panel prep, but liked the idea of raw pigments. Thanks for sharing, might go back and try again with WC.
Very nice video. Kremer pigments HQ is very close to my home in Germany. I love their paints and pigments. Their starter set for making own paints is great.
I loved seeing you share the beginning of your journey in the manufacture of your art equipment. In France, we have an artist who has just published a book on the subject and it's really exciting. I hope you will take us with you to harvest rocks and continue your journey.

I thought it was very interesting 🤔. Wow love it from rocks!! Wow amazing! I never look at watercolors the same again. It seems like a lot of h ard work. Thank you 😊. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸 💕.
Just loved watching and listening to you. I've been a pigment and paint fanatic for many years and am happy to see you finding so much joy in this very peaceful, meditative, and interesting activity. I did want to point out that I am pretty sure that French Ochre and Any of the ochres really doesn't have lead in it. There might be some very tiny trace amounts, depending on exactly where the rocks or dirt came from, but this is the first time I've ever heard this.
I felt just like you did when making my first few batches of paint. I kept doing research until I felt comfortable with my recipe. Best wishes for joy and accomplishment. Make sure you test the paint before panning it.
that store with all the pigments is great, dangerous place to go when you have extra money lol it is very meditative grinding and making your own pigments. havent down it since high school, just dont have the space but i guess i could go outside like you did 😀 and thank you for mentioning the legal part of collecting! there are places in many countries, that you cannot take anything that would make a pigment, either due to religious reasons, safety reasons (wouldnt want to collect anything nuclear)or land ownership
Thank you for the vlog this was so interesting and so current for me. I have been taking an online class with Mel Sweetnam of Mamie's Schoolhouse in Canada during which I have made some pigments from Weld and Madder plants. I'll be making these into watercolours so to see how you used the muller was really usefull. Thank you again 😊
Me inspiras mucho Caro! Gracias por compartir tu experiencia Yo también ando con un proceso personal de producción artística asique tus videos me motivan mucho ♥
Hola Caro hermoso el trabajo que estas haciendo y lino el video,!!! aveces hay que tener cuidado con algunos colores en acrilico u oleo porque contienen componentes peligrosos, principalmente para los que usan las manos para pintar, hermosos los colores que estas haciendo, besos desde la Argentina soy Vivi❤🥰
This looks really fun and a great way to feel even more connected to your own art. That drink you made looked super cosy too, was it turmeric and cinnamon blended with some kind of milk? It looks delicious!
So so beautiful Caro 😍 Looking forward to see more of your colours :)) When they are dry, what you'll paint with them... 🥰💚 I want to share a feeling: I am always so irritated, that in EN for "earth" and "loose soil" the word "dirt" is used. Maybe it's because I am a GE native speaker, so for me, the word "dirt" relates more to gutter, debris, filth,... hearing it for "earth", always makes my gut cramp a little and my neck hair stand up🙈💚Anybody else feeling the same way?😅🙋🏻♀
Thank you for bringing us along on this most potent and precious process in your art journey. It’s so sublime. A question: have you been able to research sustainable options for plastic half pans? I’m thinking tiny half shella and yet I’m curious about what else might work. Gratitudes and blessings.
I've been collecting walnut shells,will try to use those,but not sure if they would react with paint in the long run as it's possible to make ink from walnuts.
6:32 omg not me freaking out cause I thought that ant on the left was on my monitor 😅I get them in my house all the time. I should make pigments out of them lol
I was traumatized seeing this video yesterday so kept on thinking about it as I woke up.. it started so good and I thoght it must be something interesting I could add to my art relater playlist but then it was bringing me in terror more and more! Good it was mentioned that it's a the tutorial but it should better be mentioned right in the beginning or even in the title, not after I had been thinking in terror 'why she's doing that?? Please don't!' It starts so beautifully in nature, but then it gets to that shop full of PLASTIC 🙀 isn't it just another way of consumption?? Just because 'natural paints' thing became popular .. you would reuse the plastic, but what about other people?? And will most of them just do crazy stuff to all those precisious stones without researching it well ~ so it's just wasting of Earth's resources! It's not about helping the Earth, it's another toy for rich kids.. I have one ready natural pigment now from Russia and they sell pigments in jars and jar can really be reused, I do need such jars always. And here I see they sell small amount of stones in plastic bags.... I would like of course to grind rocks and make my own pigments and mix my own paints. But I felt for myself that it's important to try ready made paints first, to know their consistency, to see difference between various paints. It's serious process, and even though I love experimenting and do stuff just by feeling, there are things that really need to be seriously researched before doing. I could not watch till the end.. It's just sad to see how many people would leave praising comments because video is done beautifully looking. There's no so much comments on videos of real process of making pigments, because it does not look so pretty ~ with flowers on the table etc. But I think these videos are watched by real artists and appreciated. There's nothing wrong with prety looking atmosphere in making video. But it's sad that people see only outside thing and praise it. And many pretty girls who just want attention posting pretty videos can think to do the same without doing proper research on subject, even though it's said here it's not a tutorial.

Yes especially silica and esbestos can be in rocks which embeds in your lungs. Masking is very important.
@@EtherealForestAmbienceAsbestos would not be sold.
this was just magical. i make my own inks, i appreciate the hard work that goes into your craft. thank you for sharing
Thank you this helped me feel calm and helped me feel inspired to start making water colours again. Please keep making videos like this they help soooo much
Thank you! it was really calming to watch you create

Wow! I love this so much. This is a practice that demands presence. I’d love to learn this for myself.
Totally love this Caro can't wait to see how this journey goes from strength to strength with you ❤
This was fun to watch. If I had the space and patience, I would totally make my own colors to play with.
Thank you for your meditative and creative video !!!

Aweee me too 🥹
I would love see the lapis lazuli. does it stay blue? great video. thanks

What do you mix to the rock powder?

What the oil you used please ?
What are the liquids used?
hey Caro, what type of rock was the green one?
Green jasper!
@@Caro.Arevalo gracias!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🌱🌱🌱🌱
What happened to the other cat? I’m wondering because I know that Vader passed away, but what about the other one?
They both passed away, our sweet Lila had a problem in her kidneys and we tried everything we could to help her out 😔
You should put on a mask when dealing with dust
Thank you so much for the tip! I've started doing that now, do you think the n95 mask is enough or do you have another recommendation?
@@Caro.Arevalo In my country n95 isn't that widely available ... so I'd opt for whatever at hand ... just be careful not to inhale too much dust!
