Colors of Nature: Extracting Natural pigments from plants

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!

    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?

    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 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.
