For this sustainable piece, I boiled and fermented pomegranate peels as well as seeds. Another material I used to imitate watercolor was purple cabbage, which underwent a similar process as the pomegranate. After boiling and extracting the colors from these fruits and veggies, I experimented with baking soda and vinegar; making many different colors and shades just from all natural materials. During this process, I encountered a chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar combination leading the paint to disperse into the color on the background of my piece.
Above is an image of my home made sustainable paints. I made a total of 8 combinations. I tested out the paints and created multiple pieces to see how they would look on paper
This was my final product. I used clay to make a base, then spilled the paints on top of the paper. It soaked into the clay and paper itself. I am so content with how this turned out.
