Making Paint From Household Materials

On wednesday the 6th October we were set the task to make a catalogue of colours that we were able to create by only using household materials. I used a range of materials including coffee, beetroot, paprika and toothpaste. Once I had exhausted my options we were instructed to create a quick drawing using a selection of the colours that we had created. For the image displayed above I used coffee and mascara to create the different tones for the photograph I was painting from. I thoroughly enjoyed this task as it allowed me to explore and experiment with unusual products away from the conventional painting material.
