Making Paints

I am learning how to make paints. I am learning the formulas and numbers. These are hard to understand but you have to understand the formulas in order to work with the chemicals. I thin it will be easier to make things once I understand the formulas. I am hoping to learn about the materials and how to use them in the right way so I can eventually make paints on my own. I would like to make paints for my own paintings. Right now I don't feel like I really understand the formulas mean so if anyone out there has a great way to understand these, please respond to my blog and let me know.

It would be easier to figure out how to make certain colors like red, blue, white and yellow if I understood the chemical formulas. I found a few web sites that talk about making paints, like
http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Library/2036/art/pgpnt.htm but most of the sites talked about making paints for kids' projects and I want to learn to make paints for my paintings.

If you have any suggestions at all about this subject, please post ideas, tips or information to my blog. Thanks.
