Discover how to create natural pigments from earth, a traditional process perfect for iconography and egg tempera painting. In this video I show you step by step all the phases to obtain high-quality artisanal pigments: from collecting the earth, to washing and grinding it (to make it finer), up to the comparison with a commercial pigment. We also explore the firing of the pgment, which allows to obtain different shades, making the pigment redder and darker. Finally, I put the obtained pigments to the test, showing the results of the different firings applied to egg tempera.
