Colors of Nature: Extracting Natural pigments from plants
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 04. 2020
- One of the things we can do to maximize our time with nature is to experiment with plant properties, and one fun way is to extract its colors and use it as paint! Here we experimented with a few leaves, flowers and herbs. You can work with materials and plants that are readily available to you. Feel free to explore, since nature is so limitless!

@@AlhibeFarm U Can also use Egg Oil as Blinder Remove The Egg Yolk Animal Glue Tree Gum Eat Honey Don't waste 🎨🦣🤠🌹🖌️🌺
Perhaps if you roasted or dryed the plants in the sun, powder them, then procceed with the rest of the steps it would have greater pigment? 🤔
probably. We will try that. But here the fun in the activity also includes the entire process from gathering of leaves, to finally aplying the colors. Just a short activity intended for younger kids, just for them to witness and experience the basics. =)
I think chemical reactions in the plants will make them darker, so when you powder them when they're dried the pigments are darker?
@@rabbitazteca23 good thinking!
Most of these plants would have already faded from the sun in the time it took to dry them in the sun. Plant dyes are almost all extremely fleeting in a few days or even hours. Indigo/woad, madder, walnut, and weld/goldenrod are almost the only exceptions. Even those will just last years, not really decades
I was thinking the same thing just for mys3 to do. Dehydrate the plant blend to a powder
I really appreciate your work here, liked your video.🧡♀️
A little note:
I used to make pigments from plants, flowers, fruits etc. But as she said it's just a good activity to do with your children. If you're an artist who wants their art to be the same even as the time passes, it's not really a good option for you. The color kinda turns into brownish toned colors.
Thank you for the tip! Yes will try another media for that. =)
Oh :'< i guess thats what taking a picture is for right?
Not like this yeah, if you want to have lasting pigments, you'll have to extract the pigments, mix it with alum and silica, and let it dry
Then use it with gum arabica
What could we as painters use instead?
The little singing at the beginning so happy to be painting. Sooo cute. Ty for this.
I love that you did this with your child! I want to do it with my grandchildren, who are of Central American heritage. I will try staining paper this way. Thank you for the inspiration!🙂
You did a wonderful job and your Little one is so Precious! Good for you teaching her at a young age to look to Nature Like a ancestors.
What a cool way to make your own paint!!. I did n know it was that easy!! Love it so much!! Love and kiss from the Netherlands
Super then background sound nice😍
Thank you for the beauty of Philippine nature and ingenuity!!! 💗🦋😍
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying some UK plants and grass etc. 😂 I'm gonna try Bluebells as one of the first flowers i think. Haha! Need to get a book and write the plant next to the shade. Gonna be so fun!
Always lovely nature and its beauty as your lovely creations🌼🌼🙂🙂💗💗👍👍
Such a wonderful experiment and activity for anyone to do!! I’m going to have to try these in my area next spring when I take my dogs for walks!!!
Good job, ladies! I’m looking forward to using pigments from stones, but starting with petals is a really good one.
I love it. Precious colors from nature 💚
This is great for water color paint 😍 I would love to do this with my nephew
Superb and unique method
I would also suggest trying to add additives such as gum arabic and citric acid to experiment with colour and consistency
Wow so beautiful ♥️👏 I love the pigments I'll try it too thank you so much. The process is very exciting👏
Im loving the calm and serene vibe of this video. I may not have most of these plants where i live, but this video definitely helps with my ink making journey, planning on making many colours in the near future✨
What an excellent video, well done! I feel like making my own colors too, thank you!
If you boil it down it might become stronger, however the colors will most likely dull.
I remember being like seven and taking bougainvilleas from my backyard and making pink water :)
Amazing!!❤️ Chemical free hands!!:)
So prettyyyy! I'd love to try this with plants that I can easily find here in the metro. 🥰
Merveilleux ! C'est très inspirant ... j'adore la nature et j'aime ce que vous en faites ! :) Bravo !
Really helpful video
I love this idea, will try ❤
wow what an amazing video ..... you are truly an artist get job....
you deserve so much more subscribers, this video was so wholesome and nice to watch... i subbed :) xx
lovely!
Awesome, well done!!
This was really cool! Did you try seeing if the transparent inks would show up under a black light or react to heat like lemon juice will? I'm also curious if these colors would get more vibrant if the water were allowed to evaporate for a few days or if they would just go bad.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤
Amazing 🔥
Please keep the content coming. This is amazing.
this looks amazing and I don't know why you don't have millions of veiws :)

Superbbb
Beautiful
Great video 😁
This's awesome 💖💖
Wow I wanna make that too :)
Tomorrow I plan to try this out so I hope it works , Thank you!
Love it! ❤️
Excellent
This is great!! Do you think if you added lecithin when you add the honey it would make it thicker if you wanted something thicker than watercolor? I’m excited to try this !
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very good
When they dried did they turn brown? I feel like that is what would happen? Did any dry down to the the same/'similar color as when they were wet ?
I am thinking of doing this using paint thinner. So I can mix it in white paints for wall paintings
Love this! Are you from the Philippines?
Would love to reach you for this.
I tried it with tiny yellow flowers and it gave me a dark yellow color but hey I like it
Edit:any way to make it thicker?
👍👍
YOU HAVE DONE SUCH GOOD WORK KEEP IT UP
THE COLOURS THAT YOU MADE ARE NOT HARM FULL I AM ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT
THIS IS ALSO VERY INTERESTING
VERY VERY INSPIRING
Yes l need paint but I don't have paint thanks for sharing this video
Do you think, can they be preserved somehow so that they don't deteriorate? Also, is it possible to manage that the preservatives do not be synthetic?
Maybe with alum or chalk
😍😍😍
do their colors remain after some time or they turn brown?
It remains ;)
It lasts longer than the original plant would, but it fades faster than commercial paints
Can you use this in clothes/fabric?
does the paint oxidize? if so, how many days before it oxidizes? i'm planning to make this for a school project but i'm afraid the color will fade away :(
Can be made for oil painting?
Will this work on natural fabrics too?
Eyyy can I mix this to white wall paints?
Hi everyone from Mrs. Andrew's art class-
If i leave these to dry, will the pigments dry to the bottom?
is it necessary to use mortar as pestle ?
Hello is there any alternative for honey as a binder?
Aside from honey, what can we add as binder?
Can it be used in soap making
what will be the substitute of honey if you don't have one?
Hello Im planning to make toys and mini house for my hamster. Are those plants edible and safe?
Did the honey intensify the color pigment ?
a little
Can't we use any other mordant rather than honey if don't have availability of it.
Honey is just binder or probabpy fixative, not mordant. Alum or copper sulfate will probably work as a mordant.
If you don't add water to it, you will get dark colours. It requires more leafs or flowers :)
I'm pretty sure one of those flower is poisonous if eaten so be careful, but they are really nice color
which of the flower is poisonous?
@@AlhibeFarm the bougainvillea but only in you eat a lot them but it better safe them sorry. I looked again it only mildly toxic so you will only get sick if you eat a lot
Will the colors get spoiled after some days?
The colors will turn into a brownish tone after a while
Just have in mind you can make natural pigments out of clay and rocks and any plant part by boiling it. (Boiling plants only)
Which type of paint that can be used to banana leaves that turn into different color? The banana leaves that passed through the fire.
Not the dried leaves and the fresh one.
Dont they fade away
Make sure to thank the plant while harvesting
one needs to put honey in all colors?
How to preserve the paintings from fungal attack?
Your voice sound like wengie's voice
Which water u used
can i use this for hair?
Rocks can be used to
Could you please tell me the plants and flowers name u used
1:02 Is tge first one butcher needs? The auto generated subtitle doesn't catch what is said in the video. Purple mayana (painted nettle) leaves, blue ternate, bougainvillea, turmeric, cosmos flower orange and yellow
Can i drink the leftover paint it looks safe lol
can i use these colours on wall.
can you make drawing with this colours 😊
What if we don't have honey?
How is it possible that the purple turned blue (no blue exists in nature), but the greens didn't get a strong pigment?
That is blue pea blossom / blue ternate flower and it's really blue in actual. Sometimes the screens/camera shows differently. About the greens, yes surprisingly the greens weren't that strong
I was like Okay i can use these method to exctract color pigments from plants and use it to paint things till i saw step 6
instead of adding honey to it, can i add gum arabic?
You added a little more water so that the colour is very light
