Back when I was doing research for Green Guide I would get lost for hours inside the old texts that would take of ceremonial processes for pigment & binder preparation and making paint. Pure alchemy for the visual artist with materials such as indigo, ochers, carbon, gum arabic…. I wanted to share a selection of these books I had fun pouring over… your local library probably has them, and lots of others in the same vein.

  I highly suggest giving paint making a try!
