Step into my channel, where the vibrant world of natural colours awaits. Here, I blend science and art to immerse myself in the beauty of natural materials. What could be a more fitting homage to nature's timeless allure than painting with its very essence-utilising pigments crafted from its bountiful offerings!
I hope that my journey as a sustainable artist inspires you to connect with the wonders of your own landscape and find solace in the content I share here.

What did you add to get the reds?
Thank you for this wonderful, thorough video. I'm just starting to experiment with natural dyes and this was an extremely helpful tutorial. Is it possible to use a food processor/blender to break up the flowers and leaves before boiling? You mentioned bruising the leaves with a stick. If I dedicate a processor to pigments and no longer for food, could it work? Would it release too much chlorophyll and make the dye turn green?
Thankyou for sharing your journey 🙏 . I make indian traditional art. And you inspired me to make it sustainable.
Danke!
Informative! Do you know what you might do differently if you found yourself making another attempt?
Indeed, I would love to reepat the process with sepiolite and indigo from Indigofera suffruticosa. Unfortunately, these materials are not available in my region. The final colour is directly related to the type of indigo pigment used.
@@JyotsnaPippal I really appreciate you being willing to share. Perhaps one day I'll be brave enough to attempt this LOL
Beautiful journey! And your water colour journal. We need people like yourself to show a hurried world a need to slow down and enjoy each moment on your own unique path...Thank You for sharing your gift 🙏🏽
It is so amazing and inspiring that you cycle so far to your garden Jyotsna and thats even before you've started the gardening work for that day. Yay you 🌸
Thank you. I didn't realize that the music from KZread had muffled my voice. You can watch it again with my commentary this time, so you'll know what I'm actually saying. 🙂
My painting just don’t look right feel right and I’m trying to figure out different road in life to take.. do you know how to make your own canvas and what do you use to make it like your medium or is there a natural way?
i don't use canvas. I use 100% cotton watercolour paper for my sketches.
where aand how do I get the stones/minerals and how do I start making my own please?
i have a comprehensive course on this subject and articles on my website lostincolours.com where you can find information.
Could this colors can called non toxic colors ?
Let’s say you’re trying to re-create a type of acrylic paint what’s the natural substitute?
i haven't experimented with it myself but one can use damar resin, natural oils and solvents to make natural acrylic paints.
How do you get a thick paint from it? What do you mix it with?
Had read that lake pigments cant be made into a dye later for cotton but can for wool. Can paint with a lake pigment on cotton fabric? Is it very wash or light fast?
What is the power you added while mixing? To make it thicker?
Although I love learning new skills I am high disturbed by the fact that you’re helping yourself to rocks from national parks - that’s illegal and it deprives the public of that which is protected for a reason.
I appreciate your concern, but I want to clarify that I always abide by the rules. Your assumption about me taking rocks from national parks with restrictions is inaccurate. It's essential not to jump to conclusions without knowing the full story. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask, but please refrain from making baseless comments.thank you
I appreciate this video thank you 🌱
Very relaxing to watch your process and the lovely painting at the end 😊
thank you !
Loved the process🌻, Thankyou so much!
Xoxo
hi, beautiful how subtle a neutral color. I'm wondering actually what calligraphy pen you use & where to find?
Thank you . I use a Brause calligraphy nib and sometimes simply a twig.
Very clear and inspiring demonstration thank you Jyotsna
I loved this video. What do you do when you want to use this pigment to paint? Just add water?
you can make oil or watercolour paint and use them in your creative process :-).
Helo, can this water color natural use for ceramic?
Thanks for the great video. I do have a question . How do you obtain the colours you would like to have ? Like Red or black !. How do you find those kinda material? Thanks
What specific types of yellow and red ochres did you use in the video (e.g., golden yellow and Pozzuoli Earth red)?
the yellow and red ochre are from Italy and Spain (Castille) respectively.
YES! Really thrilled to see you exploring Japanese Knotweed and getting great results--and moreover really leaning into the process, finding awe, and encouraging the release of expectation around the end product. Nature adventures and art experiments with you look so exciting!
Thank you for sharing your story. You certainly have had a lot to deal with in your life and I think you have managed all the twists and turns with grace and a sense of adventure
Hi Jyotsna, How did you make the Blue ochre/Vivianite ... did you order pigment for that or grind it down yourself ? Thanks - Beautiful video as always
Thank you. I bought the pigment a few years ago from Kremer Pigmente. It is not very easy to find Blue vivianite at least not in Austria.
I love your work, tank you for sharing with us, I appreciate immensely
pretty lame quite honestly, and babying people the whole time, if people are so stupid they can't figure out basic safety measures then let them go !
Merci pour ce partage 👍🙏😍 !!!
Can you use this for makeup? Via mica powder?
I cant tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video and many others. I am changing and evolving so much after a huge life change. My partner died tragically in my arms while I slept. I wanted to leave this earth - but after so much change, I have come to where I am today.I am SO drawn to your process and story. I live on a river and am constantly collecting things and not always sure why or what to do with them. We hike daily - as we live in an area of a wildlife preserve. I feel like I have finally found what I have unknowingly been searching for. I LOVE watercolor and have been painting for years. Thank you for sharing your story and for showing up in my world.
Dear Teresa, thank you for being here and for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear about the profound loss you experienced, and I can only imagine the strength it takes to navigate such a challenging journey. It's incredibly inspiring to hear that you've found solace and transformation through the changes in your life. The connection you feel to my process and story warms my heart, and I'm honoured to be a small part of your world. With heartfelt gratitude, Jyotsna

Thanks for sharing what can be done with just three natural primaries! Do you ever work with natural pigments as gouache? If so, how does it compare in saturation?
I haven't delved deeply into it yet, as there are numerous variables to consider, making it necessary for an extensive experimentation process. I am gradually working my way towards it.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I am so grateful to you, and Elma Hogeboom (I suggest checking out her youtube channel) for introducing me to sustainable art! Elma, like you, is a sustainable artist and paintmaker with a science background.
Hi there, I just watched this video last night. it was fun to watch! I am curious, Have you made pigments from plants or leaves? Do they dry out and mix well?
Certainly! Thank you, I've created numerous pigments using plants and leaves. They blend seamlessly and exhibit rich pigmentation. Additionally, I've posted some videos on this subject.
Very cool and informative, thank you!
thank you for clearly stating how to make pigment from rocks. I will do it!
tks.very good.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m just starting my journey of collecting earth pigments and your videos have been very helpful 🤍
What was the liquid you added to the pigment? Gum Arabic?
indeed, gum arabic binder solution.
Happy holidays to you too, Jyotsna. Thank you for sharing some of your story. I enjoyed your Lost in Colours workshops and look forward to future videos and lessons from you. Bless.
They are cute😍

Thank you for sharing your story with us! It sounds like you've had so many unique experiences in your life that led you to where you are today!
