    My daughter loves making her own charcoal pigment. It’s nice and easy if you’d like to include a child- much easier on the hands!

    😂 this proves that using mineral pigments is not a necesity, charcoal is totally organic. But yes, I understand what she was trying to say.

    do pigment extracted from coal can be considered as a mineral pigment/paint

    i don't think so by technicality since coal is not a mineral and is made from compressed fossils. However it might act the same way in a practical application, being mostly carbon?

    I haven't seen that coal have been used as a pigment, but charcoal, soot and burnt bones are all used as pigment. You can buy paints made from those pigments in the nearest art material shop.

    Incorrect, plant material can be turned into pain. Plenty of KZread videos showing how to do so. Same process, powder the the dried plant material then do everything as you do with minerals. Humans have used plant material to make paint since the dawn of man.

    I wish you would show all the steps, getting the pigment separated from large particles and water is not easy or obvious.

    "She didn't mine the marble to make the pestle & mortar either. Nor turn them on water wheel powered stone cutting lathes, or make the dams & aqueducts for the water resource to turn said lathes...My- what a lazy gal! In my day we would do all that by breakfast! " 🧐 Tacitus Unrealisticus
