Homemade Art Supplies:
A Survival Guide for Artists
––––––––
As an artist myself for many years, I struggled with the high costs and availability of art supplies. I quickly realized that I was not the only one. This is a sad state of affairs for artistic expression. But I learned a very big lesson:
Resourcefulness + Creativity = Amazing Art
Throughout time, art supplies were only made available for the shaman and visionaries, and later on educated elite artists. Artist apprentices might have had access to some of these materials, however, they were limited due to financial cost, preparatory expense and accessibility. These resources were for the privileged few, not the public. Think of all the lost art, of all the people who were not able or allowed to express themselves artistically due to lack of materials. Think of what we have lost with controlled artistic expression of history and opinion of the various times due to limitation of art supplies.
Fortunately, time has changed art and we have realized how art is important to the human soul. The age of consumerism has helped art develop and spread. There are many more options for creativity and products. Over time, different methods of expressions have led to innovation of materials. There has been a great deal of time and science spent on having artistic products endure aging, atmosphere, different applications and expanding colour options etc. Just the technological advances in controlling toxicity is one to be celebrated.
However, there is still a financial limitation for the purchase of these abundant art materials for many people.
My wish and hope is that this book will help to bridge the lack gap, provide you with ways to keep on creating art and expressing yourself using tools and supplies. There are many solutions with materials that are inexpensive and easily accessed at places like: your kitchen, junk drawer, hardware store, pharmacy, second-hand store, and local dollar store. Using products from any of these places can help you to create an abundance of different options for making art supplies. Lack, should never stop you from creating. This book will hopefully inspire you to create art and also create the methods and mediums necessary for your art.
This book is also about what to do when art emergencies happen. Consider this book a possible solution when you have used up your supplies and there are no art stores open, or just don’t have them on hand or like me, live in a country where many products are simply not available. These recipes and ideas will help you to carry on and help you to keep in the flow of creation. Think about this book as a survival DIY (do it yourself) art guide. This book will show you what to stock in your art supplies survival kit, how to use them and how to adapt them.
Homemade art supplies might also help to give you an opportunity to sample a certain product, something similar to a commercial product that you would like to try, something that could inspire you or something would be useful for you. For example, spray inks. These inks work beautifully to create wonderful backgrounds and effects. Spray inks are quite expensive. They are not something available to sample in the stores and not available in all locations. Therefore, I have included several recipes on how to create spray inks that are cost efficient and easy to make. You now have an opportunity to play with them. Because you now have experience with similar products, you might like to invest in professionally manufactured ones and compare. If you don’t love them, you have not invested as much as if you had bought them: you got to try them on for size.
Many artists simply just go with the tried and true rather than waste
money on a possibility. The recipes in this book are a much better option. So please continue to explore your potential and try new things. Be brave. You may find your new passionate process and recharge your art style, or get out of a creative block. Creation is not meant to be halted by limitations, styles, or creative blocks. Art grows by expansion and experiences.
This book is designed in such a way as to give suggestions for what are the requirements and limitations of your homemade art supplies. When I have given a suggested recipe, I will include the purpose of the components. Having this knowledge will help you to create these recipes to fit your own needs for example, a cooking recipe will include the purpose for eggs. Egg
