Bashing Bideford Black.

1. Crushing the mineral. 2. Adding Nori paste and vodka. 3. Mixing to a thin paste.

After coating some sheets of paper with my home-made walnut ink yesterday, I decided to stay with natural pigments and make paint with some lumps of Bideford Black I’ve had lurking in a box for years. I’d made paint with it before, using water (here). This time I mixed it with Nori paste and vodka. It was much thicker than the previous water-based one. I’m going to use it on top of the walnut ink paper.
