Onto the base ochre colours Egyptians added dark and light blues, greens, violet, white and gold to the palette.

The Egyptians used chalk, white clay, and crushed bones. These are insoluble calcium carbonate, alumina and calcium phosphate, respectively. Today we tend to use barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, aluminium hydroxide, and aluminium oxide (alumina), all of which can be produced cheaply from inexpensive ores. Indigo lake, as used by the Egyptians, was originally produced from the leaves of woad found in ancient Egypt. Painting Ancient Egyptian artists are known for developing a wider range of materials for their art. This started early in the history of the Egyptians and continued throughout their history using materials that were both local and imported. For naturalistic paintings the artist could mix and superimpose colours at will. In religious art there was a palette of only six colours, each colour linked to specific symbols and precious metals. Mixing the colours would make them meaningless. They were used next to, and in contrast with each other. The Egyptian sand boa is heavily-built snake with a small head, small eyes, vertical pupils, and a short tail. Scale texture is extremely smooth, except on the tail, which is covered in bumps. Adult female specimens of G. colubrinus are rarely more than 91cm (3 feet) in total length (including tail). [3] The average Egyptian sand boa grows no longer than 12-24" (30-60cm) long, with males being significantly smaller than females. [5]The Egyptians also manufactured many objects, from a material known as Egyptian faience. This is a quartz-based medium that could be shaped and moulded into small objects like statutes. These would be glazed with a range of minerals that would give the object colour although turquoise blue is the most common. Papyrus and ink

The ancient Egyptian civilisation seems to be one of the first in which people used cosmetics to enhance their appearance. They used kohl for decorating eyes. Kohl was made by combining soot with the mineral galena (lead sulfide). There are a few ancient Egyptian paintings showing people wearing green eye makeup. This could have been made by mixing malachite (copper (II) carbonate) with galena. The ancient Egyptians believed that applying kohl protected the wearer from evil, perhaps because they had realised that the substance had the potential to prevent or or cure some eye diseases. Reliefs and drawing techniques When they created the pyramids they used sand ramps, levers and pulleys to allow workmen and materials to move up as the height of the pyramid increased. When the general structure was completed the artists started decorating from the top down, removing ramp sand as they went down. Exterior walls contained only a few small openings. Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour that brings warmth and energy to any interior space. Our Yellow paints come in a variety of beautiful shades that are perfect for creating a joyful and inviting atmosphere in the home.

Eryx colubrinus, the Egyptian or Kenyan sand boa, [3] is a species of snake in the family Boidae. The species is endemic to Northern and Eastern Africa. Three subspecies are recognized. [4] Description [ edit ] The Egyptians invented paper in the form of papyrus sheets, split nib reed pens and ink. They mixed soot with vegetable gum and beeswax to make crude inks. They also substituted soot with other organic material to make ink of different colours, such as red ochre to make red ink.

As can be seen from the Tutankhamen funerary mask the Egyptians used gold and from other artefacts it is clear they also used silver. For the Egyptians gold was considered the flesh of the gods and silver the bones so was frequently found in religious artefacts. There are many examples of beautiful jewellery using a range of vibrant coloured enamels that look just as fresh today as when they were made. Solid lumps of these minerals were ground to a fine powder, and then mixed with a plant or animal based binder. The paint would be applied to the surface as a single layer or wash. A series of washes would be applied to create effects and different hues of colours. Lake pigments Egyptian Sand - A Classic Dark Yellows Paint that Remains Popular Year After Year.

This consisted of a fine powder of white calcite mixed with gum arabic (a natural gum from two species of acacia trees). This development was probably due to the richness of minerals in Egypt which enhanced the range of pigments. Egyptians were also famed for their relief art, which was usually painted. The two forms of relief are raised (where the figures stand out from the surface) and sunken (where the figures are cut into the surface). Sunken relief is the main form in Egyptian art.A third subspecies, Eryx colubrinus rufescens, is smaller and more rounded than E. c. loveridgei, with rougher scales.

Colour in Egyptian art was formalised into those for naturalistic paintings (landscapes, daily life and travel stories) and those for religious paintings (funerary and medical art). Paint made from a wide range of materials was laid on in flat washes, pigment by pigment, using brushes made from fibrous wood such as palm ribs or twigs bound together (Figure 4).

Later, around the 1st century BCE in the Ptolemaic Period (323-30 BCE), some Egyptian artists developed a technique for painting mummy portraits using hot beeswax mixed with coloured pigments. The coloured wax was applied to the surface, generally wood. This method was called encaustic painting from the Greek enkaustikos meaning ‘to burn in’, because the heat was so important for this type of paint. A wax encaustic painting technique was described by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder in his Natural History from the 1st century CE. The oldest surviving encaustic panel paintings are the Romano-Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits from the 1st century BCE (Figure 5).

Egyptians used hieroglyphic and pictorial carvings in brilliant colours to decorate Egyptian structures, and included symbols such as the sacred scarab beetle, the solar disc, and the vulture. Pigments in Egyptian art
