Description

#034. -- Scott Sutton (aka The Pigment Hunter) joins us to chat about the art of finding color on our local landscape. We discuss how he got involved with making paints and sourcing pigments, his philosophy on sourcing materials and minimizing his personal environmental impact, some of the base methods and tools used to source pigments and process them for paints, and where beginners like you and I should start.

Big thanks to Janey Chang for suggesting I chat with Scott!
