How to make Egg Glair
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed 5 lety
In the Medieval Era, artists and scribes would use loose powdered pigments to paint. In order to turn those raw pigments into paints they had to use something called a binding medium. This video discusses one way to make a binding medium using egg whites. For more information on other binding mediums and period pigments please visit the scribal research section of my website artfulbadgering.com...

Painting with Gold
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 5 lety
Scribes from the middle ages incorporated real gold into their illuminated manuscripts and calligraphy. What's the best modern analog we have to simulate these historical works of art. I'll be demonstrating the use of 7 different gold paints and then ranking them based on performance and appearance. Leave a comment and tell me if you have used a metallic paint that you would recommend. For more...

What is the name of the pigment that you use?
You don’t need to mull it at all?
to clean acetone or anhydrous alcohol, so you can use a brush, and to erase soap or ammonia (use carefully)
Adding a comment to boost your engagement. Good work.
Great! Thanks! 😁😈
can you make lead based watercolor and gouache paints?
Ultramarine is no longer commercially made with Lapiz because it's rare and expensive. A way of making Ultramarine in a lab was found during the Victorian era, which is why the Impressionists could afford to use it a lot. Daniel Smith I believe has a Primatek Lapiz Lazuli.
Bad mixing and way to much binder, you need to use a glass muller to apply more force. You can not make any good paint with just a palette knife.
Isn't this type of paint called 'tempera' ?
No, this is just glair. 'Tempera' is a general term for water soluble paint. 'Egg tempera' is usually egg yolk + water. 'Tempera grass' is egg yok or whole egg + linseed oil.
I understand why the process of learning is important for you personally - I feel the same way. However, I would very much have liked just to see the successful result, since I was here to learn something very specific.
hey, can we extract white pigment from white marble?
Thank you for explaining, I have two questions, can I use vinegar to prevent molding? And I know that water colors are mulled to help the pigments and the binder combine, isn’t it necessary with gouache as well? I can’t wait to try making my own gouache, thank you! 🙂
So if I wanted to be lazy about it, I could just buy watercolors and add chalk?
yeah but why do that, it's still expensive since you bought the watercolor. people make their own paints usually to save
Thank you a lot for the educational and informative video. You open my mind in some way. The only key ingredient are the pigments, and then you can produce every kind of paint you want, as oils, gouache, watercolors or acrylics. Sure you can do egg tempera and so on, but that is outdated and now we have a lot of better and reliable mediums to work with. A big hug to you, and my best regards! 🙌 🙌 🙌 😊😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
The thing about the egg tempera is in my opinion, just in case. Everyone can work with the thing that wants, i said that in order to avoid archival problems, etc (and even our contemporary mediums can fail, is not carved on stone). I only bet on good quality materials for building subsequently the last product, that is our paint. NVM, my own thoughts lol.
wonderful I love making my own watercolor now I can do gouache! thank you so much!
I’ve always wondered why people add clove oil to their paint mixes when the honey itself is anti-bacterial. Hydrogen peroxide is the main compound that makes honey anti-bacterial.
I believe it would be good if mixed with linseed oil.
Except that titanium dioxide dust is nowdays commonly accepted by the scientific community as carcinogenic.take care! And your ultramarine is pretty sure made synthetically, not from lapis since it looks so rich in blue it would be about 100$/gram if it were true lapis. not a big deal though since synthetic ultramarine is the real deal too.
Do you by chance sell your gouache?
Come on! you can making yourself.
how many ounce of pigment do you usually use?
she can't tell
Very cool! When would a muller be used as opposed to just a pallet knife?
When you going to make lots of it, on small quantities used pallet knife, easy!
She can't tell!
Better pigment dispersion. Always prefer a muller! Your pigment will be less clumpy, more colorful and you need less.
... especially for the organic pigments like alizarin crimson, pyrrole reds and orange, pthalos, carbonn black
Is it storable
So after I finish making the Gouache, do i need to wait for it to get thicker? Cuz mine is little watery😅
so you´re not finished ;-). use more pigment and carbonate in relation to the liquids
thank you very much for this! would you say by adding in more gum arabic to ready made gouache that it extends it's drying time? I use glycerine to my gouache to keep it moist for longer when in my palette so it doesnt dry so fast/doesnt dry to a complete rock so i dont struggle to rewet it after a long hiatus, but i notice glycerine can alter the creamy effect. It actually seems to hold the paint together more making it a jelly instead, whereas i prefer the thick cream/lotion kind of texture. I'll get some calcium carbonate also. some colours like alizarin crimzon seem to be too watery still.
Thanks.
What can i use instead of gum arabic?
gum arabic is the best, alternative not give the same effect!
@@taziozaffarone6899 ok, thanks
tha ks for sharing these videos on medieval paint and art paints❤️🙏
what is the recipe?
She can't said!
I would love to see you do a heraldic painting or illuminated script tutorial. There's non to be found that details the way you do. Very satisfying to listen and watch as well as informative. Really helps us beginners wanting to try something new. Well done!
Hi! This is a very useful video, thank you very much Artful Badgering! And I wonder... how much pigment did you start with? Thanks!
Thank you!
Hi, what does the clove oil help you for?? Is it like antibacterial, or how does it help?? Thank you
I really love ur video ! From now on I don’t need to worry about running out of my gouache as they are expensive to buy...
Nice video. Error possible: at point 4:50 there is a comment that watercolor contains chalk, but it's the gouache that contains chalk. Next comment states that chalk makes gouache more opaque.
I noticed theses errors
watercolor NEVER contain chalk! gouache is opaque anyway!
Cheap watercolor sometimes also contains chalk
Блин было бы хорошо увидеть русские субтитры
Wonderful instruction video and music !
this is lovely!
This is really cool! :)
Every how-to-make-gouche video I have seen includes the addition of chalk. The highest quality commercial brands of gouache, such as Schminke Horadam and M. Graham, do not contain chalk, but rather consistent of a high ratio of pigment to binder mix. This results in paint that is opaque and luminous and retains the vibrancy of the pigments (ie no dulling of pigment by the addition of chalk).
I was curious if the chalk dulls the black gouache. If the chalk is not present, would the gouache be considered just watercolor? What is the true difference between watercolor and gouache if no chalk is used for opacity?
I had wondered about the chalk addition as well. I've understood that chalk is used predominately for Lake pigments that can be fugitive (fade), so they have to be 'bound' to another material, such as the chalk. Years back, was taught that gouache was a 'highly pigmented' watercolor. This would be consistent your Blue Wren's comment that more pigment is used in ratio to the binder mix for gouache.
Yes and no. There are pigments that are always going to be transparent, no matter how much you put in. This is especially true for ultramarine or less so for pthalos for example. Also, tiny amounts of carbonate can be enough to give a great deal of opacity without affecting the saturation too much. Also, chalk is a so called pigment extender that does not have to be listed as a pigment itself. Many pigments do not need it though, and high quality gouache is surely made without it for many pigments... but it still sppeds up the drying time btw.
@@mrgreene3290 This is something different. Laking of dyes (not pigments!) is done to turn them into pigments by attaching the soluble dye to a solid particle like calcium carbonate or aluminium hydroxide. (metal-ceramic). Since many dyes are not lightfast, their laked pigmnts are also not very lightfast, but usually more so. But it does not have anything to do with making gouache.. the chalk in gouache is mainly to give it more opacity.
@@CAPTAINCAPSLOCK111 Thanks Phil, interesting. I do know that major producers of fine gouache such as Schminke Horadam and M.Graham explicitly state that they do not contain chalk fillers and do list the ingredients of their binders (neither of which contain carbonate). They do give opacity information and their pigments range from semitransparent to semiopaque and opaque. As a result the semitransparent colours may not layer well over dark colours and so if you want bright cad yellow highlights (for example) you either need to use a masking fluid or leave the paper white beneath.
Thank you! I just bought these pigments what you showed in this video :) I'm going to start with aquarelle but maybe gouache will be my next goal :) so it will help me a lot :>
By far the most helpful gouache making video! Thanks for sharing! I think I'll try mixing my own paint soon! <3
Waoooooooooo! incredible!
Thank you for the instructional video. I just subscribed. 🤗
Can I mix my existing gouache with honey to replace the water? I have some dried gouache ..... I can relive them by grinding them and with honey? ..... sorry I understood you little my English is "pessimistic?" "bad?"
honey is a humectant to extend the drying time, but to prevent it from drying you need glycerin
"don't lick your scrolls" might be the first time I've actually laughed out loud at a scribe video. Bravo! :D
This is amazing. I hadn't considered mixing my own gouache, but I think after watching this I'm going to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I don't think so, she doesn't said the quantities of binding, whitening, dextrin etc to each colour of pigment. She is pouring in but never stop talking. Very bad video.
What kind of glue did you use for the gold leaf? I didn't catch it in the video.
Sorry I didn't put it on camera longer. The glue and the sealant that I used is also the Mona Lisa brand. It comes in various consistencies. What I used was "extra thick" because I love that three-dimensional shape. I've linked a kit in the video description to an entire kit. Though the glue looks and smells like an Elmer's type of glue, I'm sure there's something substantially different about it because it stays very tacky once it's dry so that the gold leaf will adhere to it.
I have used finetec and gold leaf before and love them both. Do you always use a sealant when using gold leaf and making a manuscript?
No, I do not always seal the gold leaf. The only reason you really would want to seal it, is if the gold leaf will be handled frequently. I'm going to use this test strip to teach SCA classes, so I intend for it to be handled frequently. For most scrolls or other types of paper art, I'd say don't seal it, because they'll be hung on the wall and rarely ever touched. That way you don't have to deal with the sealant getting on the paper and causing any issues. If, on the other hand, you're going to gold leaf something like a candlestick which will be touched frequently, then go ahead and seal it so that the gold doesn't flake off.
