a bit tangential, but for anyone interested in reading about natural pigments, I LOVED ‘Color: A Natural History of the Palette’

This is so nice. I think I might get one for my boyfriend, he paints and is very aware of how toxic it is.

Wow, I love this! Ever since I read The Virgin Blue, I’ve wanted to know how to mix my own paints. And I’ve heard about the health hazards associated with different mediums, but always considered it a hazard of the job. Good to know we have options in the tools we use to create!

I wonder if agave sirup would be sufficient for a veganized gouache (a bit more pricey however…). Any alternatives mentioned to honey?
