    Is there a reason you don’t do it in a bowl?

    • @arleebean
      @arleebean  5 років тому +2703

      That's a great question, and there are a few reasons. Primarily, I don't want to have more tools that will need to be cleaned when I'm done. I also don't want to lose any residual paint that I can't completely transfer from the bowl to the slab. The mulling has to happen on the slab because it's a process that requires pressure between two abrasive surfaces. A bowl might work for the initial mixing in of the pigment, but I don't believe it would actually make the process any easier. It's not like dissolving sugar into water. It's more like emulsifying oil and water. Just takes time and pressure. :] Thanks for asking!

      They definitely didn’t have the time, there just wasn’t another option. They’d have guilds of people and very small children mixing up multiple colors at once.
      In later periods, maybe they had time but I doubt it either. I think they just did all the mixing and would keep tweaking it. They may not have distractions from phones but they definitely had all types of distractions. Human brains can make distractions.💀

      @Zenica204 5 років тому +26

      Over mulling is actually a thing. If you mull to the point where the fluid/wetness is too minimal and then keep going you can actually grind the pigment down further and make it duller. A lot of natural pigments have a sweet spot on pigment granule size. Too small and they are dull and lifeless, too large and they don't make good paint. It would be a LOT of work to do this... most grinding actually occurs in a mortar and pestle. I have purchased a few pigments and hand to grind them more because they weren't perfectly ground for watercolour.

    Love the color! It might be easier to mull the color if you first mix the pigment with water and alcohol to a quark like consistency with the pallet knife, then you can add the binder and mull. This will also improve the dispersion in the overall paint (you’ll have more color when you dilute it with water). Really like that you make videos about paint making!

    I know there's these kilns/ovens for resin that people use, the majority of resins dries faster and therefore has better results when you apply heat to then, maybe you should check out if these same kilns can work to speed to drying process of your watercolors if you really wanna making paint making into a investment. And i also understand why there such few reds in watercolor brands that scratch my itch, if it's this hard by hand it must not that much easier even with the machines.

    Now THAT is serious dedication and love. SO beautiful and satisfying (not to you, I’m sure!). This is ridiculously cool, and I can’t even begin to fathom the amount of effort and heart that goes into making your paints. So glad this showed up in my recommended! ❤️

    This is a genuine question. It's probably dumb but I need to know. What if I blend it? Then mull it? What will happen?

    • @radioactiveferrets
      @radioactiveferrets 5 років тому +3

      You'd probably have to scrape your blender really well, but it might save time, as blenders are made to... Well, blend.

    So interesting how it seems to become more opaque as the pigment disperses. As far as I understand, the pigment is also going through a process of hydrating as well.

    I’m sure that mixing in a bowl first then pouring it out to mull would help.

    Man, I'm not a native English speaker, and I don't really know it well, but I only realized halfway on the video that I didn't have the subtitles on, and it was amazing. The way she pronounces the words makes it easier for me to understand what she's saying without having to read the subtitles. And oh, sis, you have a new subscriber.

    Your videos really help me sleep, your voice is so calming, and the visuals are amazing! I have been struggling to sleep because of school, and the stress that it brings..but I found your channel and I can say that by the end of any of your videos, I can fall asleep. Please don't get me wrong, as in the idea of your videos are boring, since they are not! not at all! But they are just really calming, and your voice is amazing and makes the video so so much more relaxing and calming.

    Dats a lot of paint in that jar at the end. Have you ever considered getting empty metal tubes and filling those with your paint? I personally like being able to pour my own pans or working with fresh paint.

    • @arleebean
      @arleebean  5 років тому +7

      This has been a popular question, and it’s mostly because I don’t want to have another surface/container to clean up. The slab works, it just takes a little time.

  • @askialuna7717
    @askialuna7717 4 роки тому +1

    1:12 binder that sounds like a lot of binders.
    I thought that the increased binder requirement is due to the fact that transparent organic pigments are much lighter and that's why I went by volume and used as much as with the other pigments. For example, a tablespoon only has one gram and for another earth pigment it is 12 grams, both of them need about the same number of tablespoons of binder or the transparent pigment a few tablespoons more.

    PR254 is also my favourite one. Sennelier 's is the one I use but the name is Sennelier Red. Their Rose Dore Madder Lake is PR255 which is a bit warmer but beautiful too! Interesting to see just how much time and effort it takes to make paint! Your paint looks lovely!
