Embracing Nature And History: My Journey As An Earth Paint Artist

ADVERTISEMENT

Hey Pandas!

My name is Fee and I’m an artist and history interpreter based in North Wales, UK. As a lover of nature and history, I’ve always been fascinated by the ancient Celtic culture and the way they expressed their art through natural materials.

That’s why I decided to start exploring earth paints – a medium that truly connects me with the natural world. Made from organic materials like clay, and minerals, earth paints are eco-friendly and offer a unique texture and depth to my artwork.

My passion for earth paints led me to experiment with different techniques, including using recycled sawn tree planks as a canvas. Each plank has its own character and history, making it the perfect surface to depict the beauty of nature and the richness of Celtic art.

As I continued to develop my craft, I also started teaching earth paint workshops to both children and adults. It’s amazing to see how people of all ages can connect with the natural world through art, and how earth paints can inspire them to create something truly unique and meaningful.

I even make my own paint brushes, artist charcoal, and some of my paint from scratch, using natural materials. I make paint from ash, eggshell, and earth. The paint is mixed with organic free-range egg and applied to various different surfaces depending on what I’m working on.

As I continued to develop my craft, I also started studying and drawing inspiration from Roman frescoes in Pompeii and early medieval art. These ancient art forms have influenced my own work in both style and technique.

But my journey doesn’t stop here. I’m constantly learning and exploring new ways to express myself through art and connect with the world around me. If you’re interested in joining me on this journey, feel free to check out my website and follow me on social media. Let’s embrace nature and history together!

Much love, Fee.

Hi there, Bored Panda community! My name is Fee, and I'm an artist who specializes in working with earth paint and natural pigments. My passion for art has led me to a unique project in North Wales, UK, where I'm part of a team building the only full-size Roman fort to be constructed in over 2000 years at Park in the Past. As an artist, I'm always looking for new ways to express myself and share my craft with others. That's why I also teach history using my art as a medium. Through my teaching, I aim to entertain and engage my students, bringing the past to life in a way that's both educational and fun. Working on the Roman fort project has been an incredible experience, and I'm thrilled to be part of such an ambitious and exciting undertaking. It's been a true labour of love, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important historical site. I'm excited to share more about my art, my teaching, and my involvement in the Roman fort project with the Bored Panda community. I hope to inspire and entertain you with my unique approach to history and art. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, and I look forward to connecting with you all!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
