Foraged Pigment Paintings
Wed 5th August 2009

A Sunny Weekend 

These paintings were made using all natural, foraged materials found in and around Regent's Park.  The sources for the paints included blackberries, elderberries, mud, brick, nettles, madder root (the only one not foraged locally), st. john's wort, elder leaves, elder flowers, and bark.  We boiled these ingredients to extract the various colours and added a mordant to create watercolor paints for a children's and adult's painting workshop.  Along with traditional brushes, forks, spoons and sticks were also used as unique mark making tools.
