Yeah, they said that about Van Gogh too, didn’t they?

I recently took up acrylic & watercolor painting and prior to doing so read up on pigments. Jeez Louise, some of the old ones were deadly toxic.

Lead, cadmium, mercury. A lot of pretty colors start with heavy metals. The only thing spookier than reading about ancient pigment making for paints is reading about ancient pigment making for dyes and makeup.
