I decided this was the perfect detour and informal launch to my project. I was actually a Giant Sequoia in Epping Upland - [Epping Forest](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/epping-forest/) - After visiting my baby Giant Sequoia in Epping Upland, I headed off to explore Epping Forest for the first time. I didn't feel like this was the official launch of my project, rather just a little delve into my local surroundings. Therefore, I didn't use the ATI to seek out a specific tree, but I - [Dispatches from the Sloppy Chemist](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/dispatches-from-the-sloppy-chemist/) - Ok... I wasn't sure I would publish this post because it's actually so embarrassing- my absolute ignorance in the field of pigment-making. I know there's a lot of people who have been doing this for a long time, that I feel silly even trying. It's part of what deterred me for so long- thinking what's - [Pine Cone Ink](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/pine-cone-ink/) - After a sloppy and amateur start last week... I feel I redeemed myself slightly with my Sequoia pine cone ink this week. I just boiled them with soda crystals. I roughly tried to follow measurements I found online and record my process.

I left them to soak overnight and was pleasantly surprised by their brilliant pink bath. I took this accidental dye bath to the studio to see what other colours I could get. First, I had to dissolve some gum arabic - [Wild Plants & the Allotment](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/wild-plants-the-allotment/) - When I first got my allotment in the spring of 2025, I was overwhelmed with what to do with it all and spent most days clearing bramble, levelling the plot, and battling the abundance of weeds. However, the latter was not without conflict. I struggled with the idea of removing wild plants in order to - [Placrylic](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/placrylic/) - Part of my DYCP research is to find and test existing 'sustainable' paints and when I came across Placrylic, I immediately purchased their starter set, excited by the idea of plant-based sustainable acrylics. I admit, however, that I didn't look too deeply at the website- I just kind of went for it. Yep, looks great, - [Queen Elizabeth I Oak](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/queen-elizabeth-i-oak/) - Yesterday I ventured out to West Sussex to meet an 800 year old (possibly 1,000 year old) sessile oak tree. The Queen Elizabeth I Oak is a large sessile oak in West Sussex, England. It has a girth of 12.5–12.8 metres (41–42 ft), and is about 800–1,000 years old. In June 2002, The Tree Council designated the Queen Elizabeth I Oak, one of - [Acorn Husks](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/acorn-husk-ink/) - ...But is it pigment? Is it pigment if I say its pigment? It is a satisfyingly sludgy dark matter that spreads by brush. It dries grey on its own- like watching embers turn to ash, or paints a rich black when mixed with gum arabic. I began by following the recipe in Make Ink: A - [Bark Paintings II](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/bark-paintings-ii/) - More bark paintings- this time made from the pulpy by-product of the oak gall ink-making process.

My original goal was to create large scale works on paper from these experiments. However, the reality of creating enough ink or pigment to go large - [Oak Gall Ink](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/oak-gall-ink/) - My first attempt at making oak gall ink. Something I've wanted to try for ages. Knowing my parents go on walks nearly every day back home in California, I asked them (half-jokingly) to collect oak galls, acorn caps and wild grape vine for me. And boy, did they come through! Only took them a couple - [Church Yews of Shropshire](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/church-yews-of-shropshire/) - I had a lovely day yesterday visiting a few of the ancient Church Yews scattered across Shropshire with my friend (and ink-making mentor) Carolyn Morton. We began by consulting a lovely little artefact provided by ancient-yew.org that documents the Churchyard Yews of Shropshire through the paintings of Rev. Edward Williams, who painted the area's parish - [Mural at London Graphic Centre](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/mural-at-london-graphic-centre/) - I recently had the absolute privilege to be commissioned by Liquitex to create a mural for the London Graphic Centre to help promote their new line of bio-based acrylics.

What began as slightly terrifying turned into a really fun experience as - [Liquitex Bio-based Acrylic](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/liquitex-bio-based-acrylic/) - When I saw Liquitex had come out with a new line of bio-based acrylics, I knew I had to try them out. After learning how best to work with them, I was pleasantly surprised by their rich colours and viscosity. Currently marketed as part of the 'heavy-bodied' acrylics, they almost require their own category- as - [Tree Pigments](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/tree-pigments/) - Back in March, I was given the task to look for and collect Norwegian Maple buds- for their incredible yellow-making ability, by my ink-making mentor Carolyn Morton, in preparation for an upcoming zoom-laking-lesson. (Laking is the process of making a dried pigment from ink). At the time, the budding Norwegian Maples were apparently abundant where - [Bark paintings](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/bark-paintings/) - After having a go at making pine cone ink, I saved all the waste material to create some paper/biomaterial forms (and threw in some additional studio remnants.) These were made from coffee filters, pine needle pulp, sawdust and coffee grinds. The vertical form has a canvas base that I smushed the paper/bio-pulp into. Both were - [Distant Heres](https://www.monicaperezvega.com/distant-heres/) - Distant Heres – The Stone Space We are a group of six artists who are currently pursuing an MA/MFA in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art.
