The Magic of Mineral-Based Paint
Across history, mineral-based pigments have been pivotal in art and cultural practices. Sourced from a myriad of minerals and rocks, these pigments have adorned paintings, frescoes, manuscripts, and various artistic expressions with vibrant hues. Join us in this demo as we collectively explore different mineral species and their role in pigment creation. Together, we'll craft a community mural, delving into the rich artistic heritage of mineral pigments.
