Who invented pigments? What are the pigments made of?

*Pigments were not invented by a single person**, but were the result of the joint research of many artists and scientists over the course of history.

In ancient times, humans began to use natural pigments to decorate the inner walls of caves, such as red and yellow earth-based pigments, including earthy yellow, earthy red and pink white, and also used incinerated animal fat to obtain carbon black.

During the Middle Ages, European Renaissance painters used linseed oil to mix pigments and painted on treated cloth or wood.

Leonardo da Vinci was a prominent artist and inventor of the European Renaissance who invented a mixture of oil and tempera paint.

In short, the invention and evolution of pigments has gone through many stages and the efforts of many artists, not the invention of a single person.

There are no specific people, it is the wealth of mankind!! It was discovered after a long period of labor.

Each ethnic group has its own characteristic pigments, such as European oil painting pigments, Chinese Chinese painting pigments, and Tibetan thangka pigments.

The raw materials for making pigments are mainly ores and plants, and others also use metals, hehe, over.

I don't know

I also want to know who invented it.

Natural mineral pigments.

The so-called mineral pigment is a pigment made after natural ore collection, crushing, grinding, rinsing and other processes, also known as "stone color", and its color quality is relatively stable. The luster of the crystal increases the brightness of the color, and the color luminescence effect is good, and the covering power is extremely strong.

Generally, our common mineral materials are: cinnabar, ochre, limestone, stone green, stone yellow, chalk, hu powder, lead powder, black stone grease, mica, coral agate, silver beads, etc.

Plant-based pigments

The main raw material of vegetable pigments is the juice extracted from the roots, stems and leaves of plants, and the main blending medium is water, so it is also called "water color". It is characterized by transparent texture, simple and convenient to use, easy to dye, and suitable for layer by layer rendering. Since ancient times, Chinese painting has used stone and water colors in combination with each other to achieve the rich effect of alternating shades and virtual reality.

There are mainly the following types: garcinia cambogia, cyan, rouge, ink, crimson, acacia flower, raw gardenia, red fox color, etc.

Metallic pigments

Metallic pigments mainly refer to gold and silver, made of pure gold, sterling silver, **expensive, can produce a gorgeous effect on the picture.

The most commonly used metal pigments are mainly the following: gold, Buddha red gold, large red gold, cold gold, Tian red gold, etc.

Artificial pigments

Natural pigments have a unique color charm, but because these precious natural materials are rare, expensive, and limited in color types, they are not widely used. With the development of science and technology, many synthetic pigments have been manufactured by scientific means to supplement the deficiencies of natural colors, which has opened up a new space for painters in the choice of pigments and colors.

At present, the pigments that have been synthesized on the market mainly include: high-temperature crystalline pigments, water-dried pigments, artificial mica, etc.

A powdery substance used to color pigments. It is insoluble in water, grease, resin, organic solvent and other media, but it can be evenly dispersed in these media and can color the medium, and has a certain hiding power.

The basic requirements of pigments used in art are that the particles are as delicate as possible, the more vivid the colors are the better, and the longer the color does not change, the better. Watercolor paints are almost always transparent except for white.

Inorganic pigments: most of them use various price salts existing in nature, especially metal salts, and are selected and milled with various dispersants, binders and preservatives.

Organic pigments: After artificial synthesis, they are made into lakes on various stable chemical salts, and then dispersed by grinding, and preservatives are added to binders.

In the case of pigment pastes, they can be used for a variety of different purposes without the addition of binders.

Inorganic organic pigments can be in powder or slurry form, and are produced by different factories through a series of compounds to suit a variety of different uses.

Watercolor pigments have always existed, but the closest thing to what we use today is the maker of the first block watercolor in 1766, the British brand Reeves, in 1832 the old British brand Windsor Newton made a stick watercolor with basically the same composition as today, and later Windsor Newton made a moisturizing block watercolor. These two brands are basically the source of watercolor.

In the beginning, the pigment was discovered, not self-invented. It was only after humans could chemically synthesize that so-called synthetic pigments appeared. From this point of view, "pigments" in the broad sense of the word were not invented by anyone.

Only a specific "pigment" in the narrow sense can be invented by a person or company.
