Two round, white coffee filters lay on a pink carpet. Pigment from onion skins dries on each. The one on the left is dark, almost brown. The pigment on the right is vibrant yellow.

My first lake pigment made from onion skins. This is the excruciating drying phase. The pigment on the left was the original pigment, but I noticed that the runoff water was still pigmented so I gave it another go - viola a lighter pigment. #lakepigment #botanicalcolor #onionskinpaint #makingpaint
