There is a mill near the city of Amsterdam which still functions as a mill to make paint pigments. It is called Paintmill De Kat (the Cat), see more information here. They are able to duplicate the pigments which were used on paintings of the Dutch masters.
I visited the museum and bought two pigments and some handmade paper. I have never worked with pigments before and two colours is of course very limited but... I want to try. Luckily there are some instructions and recipes on their website.
