  I think you should do a series of following a Bob Ross tutorial whilst synthesising all the pigments you&apos;ll need, each pigment could be it&apos;s own video culminating in the finale where you actually paint the piece.

  You had ultra high concenrtration paint that artists pay an arm and a leg for and then threw calcium carbonate in there for no reason, brutal

  Red iron oxide pigment is pretty easy. You just electrolyze saltwater with iron electrodes, collect the orange-gray sludge product, dry it out, and heat it until it turns bright red.

  Fun fact: of the ingredients used here, sodium carbonate is the only one that doesn&apos;t have a Minecraft equivalent. Gunpowder has the sulfur and carbon, and any given clay deposit may or may not be kaolin. Steve? would have the technology to make his own lapis lazuli, if he could only get some sodium carbonate. And, presumably, get rid of the potassium nitrate from the gunpowder.

  Presence of nitrates in starting mixture actually makes your paint deeper blue<br><br><br><br><br>Or explosive

  The aim of alchemy was to turn base metals into gold, and somehow along the way mankind worked out how to turn base rocks into things as valuable as gold, which is why those things are now dirt cheap and gold is still valuable. Quite poetic.
