Our Natural Acrylik Paint is already opaque, we recommend using two to three layers for these little ghosts.

Step 3: Use a toothpick, pencil, or the bottom of another paintbrush dipped in black paint to create perfect circular eyes on your ghosts.

Our Natural Acrylik Paint dries fast, but make sure the areas you're adding eyes to are completely dry before you add black.

By using different tools to create eyes you can select the perfect size to match each different ghost!

Step 4: Decorate and Enjoy!

Once all the paint is completely dry find the perfect spot to place your pumpkin(s) and enjoy this fall!

I love this paint!!

I bought my paint for a Halloween makeup and I loved it, they are amazing!!

Made My Own Watercolors!

Making my own watercolors was interesting and fun. I made two half-pans from each color packet, using a teaspoon of pigment. It took me a while to make all twenty colors and then I had to let them dry for a couple days. When I finally actually tried them out, I was pleased to see the strong colors. I have enough pigment left to make at least the same amount of paint a second time although I may try making ink instead. I am glad to see exactly how much pigment it takes to make the paint/ink myself. Thanks for the great quality pigment!

3 oz Pigment packets

This is a perfect size for me for the pigments. It is the perfect size starting out using the pigments.

Love this kit!

This was my first time ever trying to mix watercolor. My daughter and I absolutely love it! Using the muller on the glass is absolutely relaxing and so fascinating! I’m so glad that I purchased the paint mixing tools kit, along with the natural earth paint pigment. So far, we’ve made 3 different colors, but now I need to purchase many more pans!

Love this paint.

I’m a novice at creating art. I loved this “natural akrylic paint” for a few reasons. First the color “scarlet red” is clear , bright and gorgeous. Second it has no smell, it doesn’t aggravate my allergies or my sensitivities. Third , it flows and handles well. Fourth comes in a large tube (59ml) which is going to last me a very long time. Although, given how much I like it, maybe not as long as I anticipated! My only criticism’, more like a request, is as an amateur I would have liked the option of purchasing a smaller tube.

Stunning colors

As someone who has dug clays and used them as paints, I was stunned by how beautiful these Earth Paints are. They are a joy to just look at. And the variety of colors amazed me. I can’t wait to get all of them made up and start blending. Much better than anything I did. Also, the package arrived quickly and was exactly as ordered and beautifully packaged.
