IT'S ART OKAY?!?!?!?! Art history is really fascinating. ....well.... I guess the corrosive properties would add some kind of acid armor effect? SOUNSYY's defense greatly rose! Seriously, though. I'm just offering the dyes as a cheap way to explain what paints are available. No muss no fuss. I'd probably use the different types of whetstones for sculpting stone material as well, in fact. It could work, especially if you consider the idea that many of the games dyes are made using crystals, which means that they have some magical properties. Though it could also be a reason why there exists only stock colors. Maybe the magic in said dyes has some negative reactions to the magic, so other colors are more expensive to reproduce (thus giving reason for an art supplier RPer to exist?)

At the cost of her charisma.  Agree, though, don't worry about doing something outside of what is already written. The world is your canvas... or some motivational talk. Paint outside the frame!

It also has the advantage of drying quicker than oils, and not needing solvents for cleanup. Most common pigments in art are inorganic minerals ground up, though organic and biological pigments were also used. There's also watercolors, which have been in use since medieval times in illuminated manuscripts. T'khai Nunh /// Ophelie Clemenceau FFXIV blog

Oooh! This is relevant to my interest. As a (hobby) artist and someone who almost always plays mages. As humans we’ve been drawing on caves with our fingers since we crawled out of the mud. Art and people go way back and the methods to make it have always been neat. And magic. Well, you can just get nuckin’ futs with magic. The idea of incorporating alchemy is definitely awesome. If you don’t mind me blabbering here are some ideas. I will forebodingly be referring to whoever would be having a spell cast upon them as “the target”. Paintbrushes with bits of the target’s hair mixed into the bristles. Canvases with the stretched skin of their most beloved pet(recently or not so recently deceased). Watercolor paintings imbued with the target’s/target’s truelove’s/target’s closest friend’s tears. Paintbrushes with wooden handles carved from tree branches yanked out of the sylphlands. Bits of the target’s clothing painted over so they are inside of the painting. In fact while we're at it just literally push the target inside of the painting and trap them there. Everyone will marvel at your character's shockingly good knack for realism in their art. So lifelike! GROUND UP ORGANS AND BONES FOR THAT SPECIAL TEXTURE/SHADE OF VERY DARK RED. A COW AS WHITE AS MILK, A CAPE AS RED AS BLOOD, THE HAIR AS YELLOW AS CORN, A SLIPPER AS PURE AS GOLD. But seriously, fairytales are an awesome place to look if you want darker magic elements. Even modern ones to a degree. As for materials, there’s a lot that goes into art that isn't paint. Paintbrushes usually incorporate animal hair for their bristles and the wooden handles have to come from somewhere. Back IN THE OLD TIMES it was common to pick one’s magical tools under very specific circumstance which right there is the possibility for an entire plot. Watercolors are also an extremely old kind of paint and I figure the water would have to be just as magic as the paint itself. If the painting will be on display the frame is just as important as what's inside of it and could be decorated with numerous runes/gems/shards for specific magic effect.

These ideas are definitely relevant to my interests indeed~ Thank you very much! It's also comforting to know that there's not really anything hard lined in the lore that I can get away with things such as these.
