Creating your own watercolor paints is easier than you think, and with this step-by-step guide walking you through every stage of the process, you'll make vibrant pigments for your art practice for years to come! Joanne Green, a beloved blogger famous for her tutorials on paint making, breaks down her core technique for extracting pigment from flowers, veggies scraps, tree bark and more. You'll learn this unique process, then learn how to duplicate it with success to make every color of the rainbow for your palette.

Joanne makes it simpler than ever to dive into this practice, with in-depth tutorials that show each step with helpful reference photos. You'll learn to extract dye from plants, create a binder, filter your pigment, then cure, crush and store your paint for long term use. All you need are a few easy-to-source chemicals, coffee filters and mason jars! Make a bright yellow from onion skins, a deep violet from sunflower seeds or a pastel orange from pekoe tea--the possibilities are endless. You'll also discover creative activities to use your pigments on, as well as a bounty of insight on connecting with nature throughout the process. With this incredible guide, you'll have everything you need to stock your studio with homemade, non-toxic watercolor paints!
