Natural Paints Episode 2: Greenbrier
This video walks viewers through the process of how I extract color from the Greenbrier plant using two different methods: dry crushing and fresh juicing. This step by step process shows the resulting product with three different forms of paint. Stick around to see more videos on making 100% natural paints and subscribe to Groovy Greens!

Evergreen trees can do more for you than just provide some shade. This video explains how evergreen trees can medicinally benefit your health and the different ways to extract their benefits!
This lichen can produce a purple pigment if you ferment it in an ammonia water solution for 3 months, thats what i thought you were going to do! Some of your pigments are amazing!
First few seconds I learned I've been pronouncing lichens wrong my whole life.
We loved this video! My artistic daughter wanted to learn more about Lichen, and we came across your video when we were searching for how to make paint derived from Lichen! Thank you so much for posting this!
Great video! Well done and so much great information:) Are you making any more videos ?
Yes! I think I’ll start making more videos this summer. Stay tuned 🙂
Please tell me what lichen you uses
The air quality & water THING not buying! With wtf there spraying on us with solar radiation management &other atmospheric spraying of heavy metals it's been killing everything else! If you live in the woods & have been paying attention .you might not be old enough to have witnessed every THING disappearing I noticed 1st as a child . Lovelight meow lightlove meow

Can you make a video about moss?
Yeah for sure! I have actually made a paint out of moss already, but I’ll be sure to talk about moss soon!
Brava, Ms. Groovy Greens, I've got my Punctilia Lichens steeping for two weeks now (fantastic deep cranberry color!), and will be hunting for some Greenbriar in the coming week. Rock on!
That’s awesome! Hopefully you can find some greenbrier...the colors are lovely! thanks for sticking with me!
'Haven't been out to search the woods and swamps since we last typed at each other...no Greenbriar yet, but I have another question re. the Punctilia: have you ever added this color or any of your other natural tints to a natural glue or adhesive? Projects I'm considering will need to include a glue-lamination of materials and I've had trouble with the glues sealing-out the finish leaving a mottled or unlovely stripey look. A nasty surprise when the piece is nice otherwise. Educational but nasty. And as for sticking with you...You Rock! Better than Mrtha Stewart, even.
I have not yet added pigment to an adhesive, but I feel like if you add powdered, dried pigment to a glue, the color should mix in very well. Perhaps if you tried heating the glue first it may mix better. Just my thoughts :) and thanks!!
Hey Ms. Grace, Check this out: www.tenthousandvillages.com/mosaic/slow-and-steady-shibori-resist-dyeing-with-indigo/
Always amazed by how many of the plants on your channel are edible. Who would have guessed that I've been hiking in a giant salad all these years
It’s pretty crazy my dude
Hi Groovy Grace, I enjoyed your informative talk about preparing the Lichen based pigment. I'm hoping to I'll learn something here for creating a natural dye or stain for light-colored woods. hoping for a good purple or red. Also, will you be showing any of your artwork?
Hi jay! I’m so happy that you enjoyed my video! I just recently put out a video on purple dyes extracted from greenbrier, a common thorn bush found throughout North America. And yes! In the upcoming months I will be putting out videos of myself painting with the paints I have made :)
