A Visit to Suhu Artspace
   On 27th September 2016, I and my friends had a visit to Suhu Artspace which owns by Dr Hushnaidi and Dr Sukor. It is situated not far away from Linton University College in Negeri Sembilan.
  The objective of this visit is to have exposure to artworks, and to find out technique or method of producing artworks by our lecturers. We also asked by Dr Hushnaidi to ask as many questions as we want so that we have a clear understanding on the method of producing certain artworks.

   During this visit, we gained a lot of information about materials, tools that Dr used in his works. We also shown the methods that produce certain artworks like acrylic painting, oil painting, method on creating charcoals, method to produce pigments, stencils, 3d printing and etc.
Title: Producing the natural paint pigments

Steps:

2) Grind the rocks into fine dust using pigment grinding machine. It may take overnight to grind them into fine particles.

3) After 24 hours, check the grinded particles for any large lumps, and if any exist continue grinding the rocks until it turns into powder.
4) Take the pigment powder, and mix with water to produce colour solution.         
5) Paint it on a piece of paper with different proportions to experiment with colour to be used in the artworks.
