What did egyptians paint with?

Question

I have this thing and I'd like to paint it with the paints they used if possible.

Answer 1

The ancient Egyptians then developed other paints from pigments in the soil

Color Technology in Ancient Egypt Using Animal Products
Two basic colors were obtained from organic sources. White pigment was produced from crushed bone or ivory. Black was created from the soot produced by oil lamps (known today as lamp black, a rich velvety black) or by roasting crushed ivory (known today as ivory black, a warm, slightly brownish-black).

One of the first color innovations of Ancient Egypt was in the field of dyeing.
In order to get a dye to 'fix' to fabric (or leather) you need to use a mordant such as alum (a sulphate of aluminum and potassium). Once the dyeing process is finished, the mordant forms a solid waste which also has the dye fixed to it. Powdered this waste material forms an excellent pigment type known as a lake pigment.

One of the main lake pigments used in Ancient Egypt was produced from the dried bodies of female scale insects (family Coccidae, genus Kermes). Kermes is vivid red color, known to us today as carmine.

Color Technology in Ancient Egypt Using Vegetable Products
There were two other important lake pigments used in Ancient Egypt: indigo and madder lake. Indigo, a dark blue color, was created from wode, a leguminous which has pods and root nodules, obtained in Asia. Madder lake was created from the fleshy roots of the madder plant obtained around the Mediterranean. Madder lake is a dark reddish-purple color, similar to the modern pigment Alizarin crimson.

Color Technology in Ancient Egypt Using Minerals
The majority of pigments in Ancient Egypt were derived from minerals, crushed and powdered for use with suitable binders such as egg yoke or tree gum. But the cost of some of these minerals was prohibitive. Lapis lazuli, for example, had to be imported over the Sinai Desert from central Asia, and was accordingly used for the most important images – as it would be in medieval times. Several of the minerals were also used for jewelry and inlay – especially lapis lazuli – while the turquoise pigment chrysocolla was also used to make an adhesive for gluing down gold leaf.

While many of the minerals were relatively inert – iron oxides such as red- and yellow-ochre, copper carbonates like malachite and azurite, as well as chalk and charcoal – several of the minerals were highly toxic, and artists didn't have modern protective gloves and dust masks to hand. Orpiment, which produces a bright yellow pigment, and realgar, which is an reddish-orange color, are both highly toxic forms of arsenic sulphide

Answer 3

The ancient Egyptians used six colors: white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green; and used: Hematite, red & yellow Ochre, Manganese Oxide, Charcoal, and red lead (Minium) mixed with egg yolks to concoct these colors of paint.

The paint was thick and sticky and lasted a long time.

Answer 4

Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. ~ Leviticus 19:27 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. ~ Matthew 5:17 (Jesus Christ) If Christ came to fulfill the law then he would have adhered to the law in Leviticus and thus would not have cut the hair at the sides of his head or clip off the edges of the beard. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. ~ Isaiah 53:2 The scripture above is prophesying about Christ. So what ever Christ looked like as a man he was not beautiful or desirable in appearance. God purposely didn't reveal Jesus' full appearance in scripture so that it would not cause conflict between races and peoples appearances. God is love not vanity.

Answer 5

They painted with the things they found around them -- natural substances. They made colors from herbs and plants.

Answer 6

Ochre

Answer 7

Well, I only know a little. I believe they used cobalt for blue, and henna for red, and "may" have used sulphur for yellow. Sorry, all I've got to offer.
