My Pigments are Made from Rocks

Before I start a painting, first I gather the rocks. I also use things like charred wood and bone to make black, and certain leaves to make yellow. The resulting pigments are all light-fast and will last throughout the years. Most plant pigments are not light-fast, but the few that I use are.

You can read about the colors and the ways I create the pigments at my website, PaleoPaints.com. Here's a link specifically to the section on colors: https://www.paleopaints.com/category/colors/.
