A unique work of practical reference that combines the history, evolution and application of painting pigment in the world of art.
Packed with vibrant, stylish photography that captures Lucy Mayes at work on location and in her studio, this stunning book is a tribute to her passion for the subject and her desire to share its stories, riches and recipes.
The history and science are riveting; the recipes, textures and techniques are alchemy; the ecological vision that can be added to an artist’s statement is unparalleled: this is the new world of art and painting media.
Lucy Mayes is a UK-based artist and pigment maker whose work revolves around creating pigments under her brand London Pigment, developing her painting practice, and leading pigment-making courses.
Her fascination with the materiality of colour and the craft of pigment processing began during her studies at The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, and The Royal College of Art. With a strong commitment to sustainable practices, she explores the rich history and science of pigments while championing ecologically responsible approaches. By bridging traditional techniques with contemporary artistic practice, she encourages ethical and mindful engagement with colour.
