Verdigris 2013 - Pigment to Paint

Managed to find the time this past weekend to mix the various verdigris pigments into paint and test them.  I mixed up the 2012 White Vinegar, 2013 White Vinegar, 2013 Wine Vinegar, and 2013 Apple Cider Vinegar verdigris with both glair and gum water for binders.  I labeled each shell with a sharpie to keep track of what mix was in the shell and after mixing the paint into the shell, I painted a test splotch for compassion. After 6 hours and with the paint in the shells, nearly dry, I added water to reconstitute them and painted a second splotch. I'm planning on painting a third this evening that will most likely be 28 to 30 hours after the paint was first mixed to again test how they reconstitute.
