β Q&A LIST BELOW:
π§ More info on the pigments?
πΏ these pigments are an exclusive collaboration between Choosing Keeping and a lovely pigment store called Saiun-do in Japan. Iβve talked about these pigments more extensively in my other recent videos as well.
π§Gloves & Respirator?
πΏ YES. I should 100000% be wearing gloves and a mask. If I wasnβt filming I would have. However, the last time I wore gloves in a paintmaking video, the sound of the gloves were unpleasant to listen to to many people. I decided for the sake of the video to omit them. However, yes. Gloves are very necessary especially if you are not working with pigments specifically made for Nihonga paintings.
π§ Why add honey?
πΏ this step is optional but i prefer to add it since it gives the paints a nice texture. it will also preserve moisture.
π§ Filming Equipment?
πΏ Camera: Sony A7rIV
Lens: Sony - FE 24-105mm F4 G
Mic: Sennheiser MKE 600
Tripod: Slik Pro 500 DX
π§ Why donβt the pigments fit back in after crushing them?
πΏ (Someone more knowledgeable, please correct me if Iβm wrong) Iβm assuming itβs because the pigments were much more compact before being crushed. In its βrockβ form, the powder is super compressed and tight which allows it to fit into the vials.
π§ Why make handmade paints rather than buying ones at the store?
πΏ Itβs kind of like cooking your own food. There are delicious meals you can buy from restaurants but food made from home is a different kind of delicious.
Any other questions?
