I was admiring a patch of moss in the forest, and it reminded me of how painters once mixed pigments from lichens and berries. Have you ever tried sourcing colors directly from the wild?

Yes, I have spent time in the woods extracting pigment from moss, lichens and berry skins. The process is slow, each specimen must be cleaned, dried and ground with care. It feels like a conversation with the forest, a reminder that every hue has a history. Modern inks may be convenient, but they lack the depth and story of a color earned from the earth.

That sounds like a quiet ritual, like a slow heartbeat of the forest. I keep a little notebook with the names of each plant and the notes on how the color changes with light. It’s like writing a letter to the woods, and the woods always reply with a new shade.

That is a fine habit, keeping a ledger of the forest's moods, I admire the care you give to each hue, it reminds us that every brushstroke can be traced back to a living source, keep listening to the woods, their palette is always generous.
