- Beet water paint (garnet or pink)

How to do it: enjoy the water in which the beets have been cooked. For the color of the paint to become stronger, cook with less water. You can add any glue to thicken it.

- Stone paint (various colors)
Material: water and stones of various colors (each region has its own).
How to do it: punch the stone a lot until it turns to dust. Then sieve, mix water, shake, and let it rest for two hours. Carefully discard the water from above and add a little glue to help thicken it. If you want to accentuate the color, add a little cooking oil.
- Earth paint
Material: earth, fine sieve, cloth strainer, old cloth.
How to do it: to make earth paint, it is important to see if it is muddy, if it has "alloy" or "sticks". Land with a lot of sand will not do. It serves the tabatinga or common earth that can be found in various colors. Take a piece of earth and tamp it down well. Sift through a fine sieve several times, mix water, stir well and strain this mixture through a cloth strainer. Throw away the sand, put the strained water in a glass. Let the muddy water rest for two days so that the clay sinks to the bottom, separating from the water; this is called decanting. On the second day, carefully discard the water so as not to mix again. Remove the clay from the glass, put it on a piece of cloth and put it in the sun to drain a little. Then put the “clay” in a plastic container, add a little water and glue. If you want to accentuate the color, add a little cooking oil.
- Simple earth paint (various colors)
Material: earth and water.
How to do it: It is not necessary to decant (remove the sand) to make this paint. All you need to do is mix water with the earth and, if you want, add glue. The ink is ready.
