The Beauty of the Process

Making paint from plants is a wonderful way to deepen your connection to the natural world while creating beautiful and unique works of art. Imagine the satisfaction of transforming leaves, flowers, and even trees into a vibrant palette of natural colours. There is a whole world of natural colour out there, just waiting for us to discover. This process is not only incredibly rewarding, but it’s also surprisingly accessible. With a few simple tools and guidance, you can be on your way to creating paint from plants in no time!

Gathering Plant Materials

Making paints from plants is a process filled with discovery and delight. You begin by foraging for natural materials—leaves, flowers, tree bark, and more—transforming them into rich pigments that bring your art to life. You can create stunning, eco-friendly colours from simple ingredients in your backyard or local surroundings. It’s a rewarding journey that teaches you the techniques of the process and connects you to the beauty of nature! I love this Kew Plants Of The World online data base to find information about potential dye plants.

Accessing Sources of Natural Colour

Do you have limited access to the outdoors? Don’t worry; you can still experience the beauty of this process from the comfort of your home. I provide a list of simple ingredients, resources and guides to access natural colour without foraging.

Reconnecting to Nature

At its heart, this course is about more than just making paint. It’s about creating space to reconnect with the natural world and your creativity. In our busy lives, it can be hard to slow down or create time for ourselves. This can leave us feeling disconnected and depleted.

The joy of seeing a colour emerge from a plant is truly magical. Through the ‘Make Paint from Plants’ mini-course, you’ll learn to harness the beauty of nature in your creative practice.
