 Hello everybody and welcome back to the average. I've got something really awesome and fun today. Last weekend we visited this shop in London called Cornilson and Sons and they have the most amazing array of like pigments and paint making stuff. I've always wanted to try it and I thought you know this is my chance, this is my opportunity to give it a go because I could actually buy the stuff that I needed. So I got some little pots to store the paint in. I got the pigments and I got some gouache binding ready-made stuff because in the shop I asked the lady what's the best binder for gouache because I knew I wanted to make gouache and she was looking out for me and they realized they had this ready-made stuff which is probably more user-friendly for beginners like me. So I was like okay let's do that. I am completely new to this so let's give it a go. I did buy everything I needed on the spot in that shop just because it's something that I wanted to do for such a long time ever since I've been seeing it being made because it just seems like something really special about working with your hands and making your own paints and also I believe that they will last quite a long time. These are going to be gouache colors so I bought three different pigments and I'm kicking myself because I didn't get a white which I think should have been my priority but I just got three of them and take a good guess which three colors I got. So I got a blue and a red and a yellow so this way I can make lots of different colors. We will be very careful with these because they do seem to be like warning us that they're quite harmful so I'm going to shut the cats out whilst they do this and be really careful with what I'm doing because I think it is very dangerous so don't just do this on a whim. I've been looking up videos on how to do it and things like that so and they took this shop's advice so this is a little disclaimer but I obviously have never done this before so I'm just going with the flow here but I've got to try something for the first time sometimes. Just to let you know everything here probably cost about £70 which is probably maybe about $100 or less. The pigments are different prices so some are more expensive than others this one was 10 I think this one was about 10 as well and this one was $7.50 so just to let you know we got perfello turquoise chrome yellow light and cadmium vermilion and schminke gouache binder. Ever since I bought this I've been really excited to open it but I wanted to do it film it so I'll be waiting to see what this looks like. With you guys I want to keep the box intact so I can put it back in so this is the sand blasted sheet of glass. To make a pigment I under as I understand it you need a sandblasted glass sheet so what I got from this shop and then I got this one. So I just dived right in and started to create the paints. I had a lot of fun doing this it was very messy. Lucky for you guys that I've edited out a lot of the messy parts of the video where I had to clean up each part of the paint before I did the new pigment. So I'm just gonna like sit back and relax and watch this and I hope that you guys can enjoy it as a relaxing sort of video to watch because I find it really therapeutic to watch myself. So I'm just gonna be quiet because there's not much else to say I've made paints and I think they turned out really good. I test them out at the end but you're gonna have to wait a little while to see me paint with these paints because that's gonna be the next video but stick around to see them being squatched and the whole process I hope you enjoy.
