at the ice age moraine in southwest Germany. The gravel company gave me permission to walk around on their property, looking for pigments. #earthtpigments #earthcolors #ochre #morainepigments #moraineochre #moraine #iceageglacier #iceage #gravelfactory #ostrachmoraine https://www.instagram.com/p/BydSVuWosLe/?igshid=6wdakt9gjml6

first tests for making my own watercolors. I use earth pigments I collected from ice age moraines of southwest Germany. This one looks like yellow ochre. Because I don't have gum arabic binder at the moment, I used acrylic gel as a binder. After a few minutes uf grinding in the mortar the pigments were already paintable. #paintmaking #makingpaint #earthpigments #ironpigments #morainepigments #iceageglacier #watercolors #watercolorjourney https://www.instagram.com/schweizerarts/p/BwxYOFqA1tD/?igshid=1pi8pvp9fa5s7
