I think you should do a series of following a Bob Ross tutorial whilst synthesising all the pigments you'll need, each pigment could be it's own video culminating in the finale where you actually paint the piece.
Red iron oxide pigment is pretty easy. You just electrolyze saltwater with iron electrodes, collect the orange-gray sludge product, dry it out, and heat it until it turns bright red.
you can even buy it down at the hardware store, sold as 'iron oxide cement pigment.' It would be interesting to see if it made a good paint or if it needs procesing like washing first
@@Amateur.Chemistry Bro this is the first video of yours that i stumbled upon and when at 1:11 you pulled out the box of paint with the text "farby plakatowe" I was so surprised.

Fun fact: of the ingredients used here, sodium carbonate is the only one that doesn't have a Minecraft equivalent. Gunpowder has the sulfur and carbon, and any given clay deposit may or may not be kaolin. Steve? would have the technology to make his own lapis lazuli, if he could only get some sodium carbonate. And, presumably, get rid of the potassium nitrate from the gunpowder.
I'd love a whole series on synthesized pigments, where at the end the paint is added to the rest in your ever-growing palate and used to make something beautiful!
I used to live about 30 km from a kaolin mine. There used to be a town called Edgar in the state of Florida, but little remains of it because it was built over a kaolin deposit. Last I checked it had a post office and some buildings associated with the mine, and a railroad spur that I think is still used to ship large quantities of kaolin out by rail.
I am an artist. I think your mindset is very good for someone that wants to learn. Your first try is also very good. I admire that your ability to take in information and try to channel it back out of your brain, as well as your ability to improvise and work on your feet - those qualities make for a good artist. I also love that you used the clay flour to make sand texture. I really hope you keep trying, whether with homemade paints or bought ones. Keep finding videos and tutorials on UA-cam. Make a mood board with artists or vibes you like and try to understand what you like about them so you can do the same. Good luck, friend!
Very good pigment. You should compare your paint to some artists ultramarine paint, you’re very close. They use something called a ‘muller’ to ensure every particle is coated with oil; to avoid a gritty texture.
I've made metakaolin before, in the exact same type of furnace - it was to use it as a pozzolan in a specialty cement composition. I've considered making ultramarine too but after looking at the complexity and failure rate, and also seeing how cheap synthetic ultramarine is to buy online, I ended up doing the latter. :) If you want another pigment project, why not take onto the first synthetic pigment ever made that dates back to ancient Egypt: Egyptian blue. It involves a similar "baking" project, with the added complexity that the results will differ depending on the ratios of the components and temperatures you bake them at. I have done it using equipment very similar to yours.
Oh hell yeah! I've been wanting to synthesize my own ultramarine for a while now but I haven't managed to find a good procedure for it, this is exactly what I was missing!
Apparently manganese has all sorts of different colors which were used for pigments. You might get heavy metal poisoning, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
Fantastic all the way through! Ultramarine is my favorite color and pigment, and I've always wanted to explore the chemistry of it! You may be interested in knowing that vibrant blue grade ultramarine pigment powder sells quite well online to people looking to mull and mix their own paints, so if you need a way to fund more chemistry you might want to attempt making a bunch of ultramarine powder for sale. Also, I too spent literally decades immersed in STEM but wanting to do art, it's never too late, but it's so rewarding once you get into it that I definitely you give a consistent place in your life. We all make shit paintings at first, but it's finding that we enjoy doing it that is most important. Besides, you'll be able to make your own pigments for the rest of your life, that's like every artist's secret desire. Keep painting and keep making awesome chem videos!
I'm not sure it sells quite so well. About a year ago I got some really nice,. very deep blue synthetic ultramarine from Amazon. It was a whole $30 for 1kg (2.2 pounds) which will last me probably for the next 25 years. :)
Thanks for such an amazing comment! If enough people are interested I might set up a store with things like homemade ultramarine and opals in the future :)
Man! You've really delved deeply into the NileRed play book! But I do appreciate the better coverage of the actual science behind it all. A Good watch.
Artist to artist, that art piece actually looks pretty good! It's honestly a great start. Don't be too hard on yourself. It only gets better from here! And amazing chemistry skills you got too!
Goated "Farby Plakatowe" haha. Love your videos man! I'm a computer science undergrad but for some reason I love watching chemistry videos, especially when someone just does stuff for fun. Have a nice day! (Or is it evening already? I always forget if 17;00 is evening or still afternoon haha)
I'm an auto mechanic that lives in a sub-tropical climate. @ 18:45 I'm no chemist, but I know and love Zinc Oxide. It's a miracle cure for heat rash in the " nether regions ", and yes it does work well! 😆Dermatologists hate it because it costs them money 🤣
the history of paint and pigments is incredibly cool! Would love to see you do something red with cinnabar, though without endangering yourself hahah. Love seeing that you made green pigment with copper too!
wow, I never though of a natural mineral like lapis lazuli can be synthesized, the blue looks great. Another nice blue pigment I am interesting in seen being made is copper phthalocyanine blue. It has a nice blue-cyan to it.
Honestly, your painting is pretty relaxing to look at. Good work. You may be able to make higher quality paints by mulling them with a glass muller and a shatterproof glass surface.
I did this synthesis at a chem summer camp/program when I was like 13, this is super cool. I still have the procedure somewhere, I’ll try to find it. Thanks for bringing back this cool memory!!
I saw the hammer + modified syringe in the intro and laughed, then saw it put to use 13:00 and was impressed. It's amazing (LDPE? HDPE?) and rubber can handle such a pressure, but yeah, definitely cheaper than a hydraulic press!
As an artist but not a chemist, I would really recommend you to look into what paint medium you want to make pain of! You could be making watercolor paints, oil, acrylic, gouache, acrylic gouach. I personally love using watercolors because it’s easy to pick up and it doesn’t require many extra steps and there’s already a lot of UA-cam videos and people who sell and make handmade watercolor paints!
for a more pure/intense white, I like to use Titanium White myself. maybe as an extension of this series you could look at creating well known limited palettes, like the Zorn palette as an example? Or start to learn painting from the basics and continue making paint (and thus videos) as you need and are able to? let the science and art continue to merge! Also big props on being willing to share your first piece, that takes a different kind of guts.
Great video! It is unbelievable to watch you making lapis lazuli from kaolin🤩. I would like to see more about synthesising minerals like corundum, quartz, beryl or something else 😸😸😸
Absolutely fantastic work! I was a complete chemist nut at a young age, but life took me in other directions work wise. Wonderful to see your enthusiasm and search for knowledge. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
The pigment making was better than the painting, but no one is an expert on their first try. To attempt so you can feel where you are lacking is the first step to mastery. Good luck!
Don't discount your art. Honestly for the simplicity, I like how it looks. That said the story of how it came to be (making your own pigments from scratch), that's the true art.

The aim of alchemy was to turn base metals into gold, and somehow along the way mankind worked out how to turn base rocks into things as valuable as gold, which is why those things are now dirt cheap and gold is still valuable. Quite poetic.
Incredible!! So fun to watch, this is exactly what I’d do with a lab. I make my own lake pigments but this is the dream! I like your little spinning table, it made that kaolin clay so glamorous. You can buy it milled and purified, for cosmetic use if you wanted to cut down on labour just a little. Subscribed, hoping for more artistic chemistry!

@Amateur Chemistry Since you are into pigments now, how about making some Iron(III) Ferrocyanide also known as Ferric Ferrocyanide or Prussian Blue starting from Cyanuric Acid, which is used as a chlorine stabilizer for swimming pools, or from Amygdalin, which can be found inside the pits or seeds of certain fruits like 🍎, 🍒, 🍑 and others?
I’m playing Terrafirmagreg right now, which is a combination of Terrafirmacraft and Gregtech. I was literally processing Kaolinite clay last night in Minecraft lol
Excellent results. Beautiful pigment. I wonder how difficult it would be to synthesize back in da Vinci's day. Finding pure reagents would probably be the hardest part.
you can make synthetic ruby and crush it for red paint. it's actually fairly easy to make ruby with high enough voltage (such as welding rods) or even in a microwave crucible.
This turned-out really, *really* cool! However, I'm thoroughly surprised that the Emperor's army didn't gather in the comment section at the mention of Ultramarine.
