Have you ever wonder if you can make your own paint? The answer to this is yes. Paint is made out of three things: water, binder, and pigments. According to www.nachi.org paint is “A combination of pigments with suitable thinners or oils to provide decorative and protective coatings.” This is what artist use to paint. When I made paint, they thought that I was going to try to make watercolors but they were wrong. This type of paint is very toxic when it dries up because you can inhale that and you can get damage. If you ever try to make any type of paint, you must be safe and try to not get to close to the dry paint. For example was Cobalt Blue and this is the chemical equation CoO · Al₂O₃ .This was first publish in 1803 or 1804 and to make this pigment all you need is Cobalt (II)-chloride and Aluminum chloride. Also can you believe that there were pigments a long time ago but back then they were more toxic than today. They would paint on walls from caves and stones. If you can go to some places, you can still see some one the art that they made.
