From Plant to Pigment - How to make vibrant inks and artists' materials from plants

A complete guide to extracting vivid pigments from plants - and making your own professional-grade paints with them. Natalie''s colours stand out from the usual plant-dye inks, which fade over time. In the book she demonstrates the fundamental technique of how to make a lake, which binds to the inks and makes pigments that are lasting and vivid. These, in turn, give you inks, watercolours and pastels from across the spectrum that are perfect to use for your own artistic endeavours.
