I make my own paint.
Traditionaly, an organic material such as egg yolk, cassien or vegetable oil is used as the binder.
Organic materials tend to not work so well as pigment source, all colors turn brown. Mineral pigments, organic binder.
The flourescent-ness of harmalas could be an exception, for all I know.
D-limonene that has already been used for multiple extractions makes an excellent alternative to turpentine, for oil painting. AND you get to call your work "psychedelic art" knowing full well that there's a bit of dmt in there.
"It's trippier than it looks".
Having said that, it makes a whole LOT of sense to see if that trippiness can be potentiated with harmalas. It just makes sense.

Harmine is for use as a coloring additive which fluoresces in UV light. When highly diluted, harmine is nearly colorless but still fluoresces brightly in black light. Harmine is great for creating fluorescent water colors used in black light art projects. For use as a fluorescent coloring additive dissolve 200 mg completely in 10 ml or more of warm vinegar prior. If not dilute enough, fluorescence is hindered. Once diluted, it may be adding to water based paints, water based inks, etc. Harmine may also be used as a fluorescent pH indicator (as the pH increases the fluorescence of harmine decreases).
So it works with watercolor....how does it stay glowy?

I appreciate your perspective.
