How does paint get its colour?
Ben and Ingrid want to know, how is paint made? Grace asks, what is paint made of? And Yuki is wondering, how do colours get into paint? We love to paint and get messy with all the colours of the rainbow! You can mix blue and yellow to make green, red and blue to make purple… but how did we get all these colours in the first place? Let’s visit our friend Jocelyn Evans. She’s a paintings conservator at the National Gallery of Australia – that’s like a doctor for paintings! Disappear inside of a work of art with Nij and the kids to follow the history of paint and how people made all the colours of the rainbow!
