⭐ Q&A LIST BELOW:
? More info on the pigments?
? these pigments are an exclusive collaboration between Choosing Keeping and a lovely pigment store called Saiun-do in Japan. I’ve talked about these pigments more extensively in my other recent videos as well.
?Gloves & Respirator?
? YES. I should 100000% be wearing gloves and a mask. If I wasn’t filming I would have. However, the last time I wore gloves in a paintmaking video, the sound of the gloves were unpleasant to listen to to many people. I decided for the sake of the video to omit them. However, yes. Gloves are very necessary especially if you are not working with pigments specifically made for Nihonga paintings.
? Why add honey?
? this step is optional but i prefer to add it since it gives the paints a nice texture. it will also preserve moisture.
