Roman Black: Resin Soot from a Vaulted Chamber, for Ink and Fresco (Vitruvius)
Vitruvius's Roman way to make black: burn resin in a small closed furnace whose smoke vents into a smooth vaulted chamber, sweep the soot off the walls, and work it with gum for writing ink or with size for fresco. Two quick substitutes: pounded pitch-pine charcoal, or roasted wine lees.

Build the soot chamber
Build the soot chamber
Build a small vaulted chamber with smooth inner walls (he finished it in polished marble; we use smoothly plastered brick). In front of it build a small furnace with vents leading into the chamber and a stokehole that closes tightly so no flame escapes.

Burn the resin
Burn the resin
Put resin in the furnace and close the stokehole. The fire drives the soot through the vents; it settles on the walls and the curved vault.

When cool, sweep the soot off the walls and vault. Work some of it with gum for writing ink; mix the rest with size for wall painting.

Without a chamber: burn pitch-pine shavings and splinters to charcoal, put them out, and pound them in a mortar with size. Or dry wine lees, roast them in an oven, and grind them with size: the better the wine, the nearer the colour to India ink.
