Using pigments to make paint

I've had some pure pigments in really delicious colours for simply ages.

I tried to make paint using the traditional method where you make a puddle of water

and carefully stir in some pigment (use a mask cos they're harmful if breathed in)
and mix it well together.

But the result was disappointingly thin and not much colour to it.

So then I tried mixing the pigment into white acrylic paint

and that was a huge success

and now I can make my own lovely colours

in beautiful pastel shades that I couldn't find in the shops.

Sometimes the most simple things are the best!
