Natural Earth Paint Founder Featured in The Mother Magazine!
I didn't think I would ever be able to use oil paints because the fumes from commercial paints are more than I am willing to deal with. A few weeks ago my art teacher discovered Natural Earth Paints and sent me a link to check them out. After watching all the videos and purchasing pigments, oil and eco-solve I am happy to report that I love these paints. I really like being able to mix my own paints because I can make them however I want them to be, and adjusting them after they are made is super easy. I am obviously new to oil painting, but after two paintings I am very happy and looking forward to many more paintings to come.
The new gesso from Natural Earth Paint is a top-quality gesso. I had used the gesso kit before, but it is nice to have this product already expertly-prepared. I was immediately impressed when opening the jar I was not struck with the heavy ammonia smell of other gesso brands. The gesso covers canvas nicely and leaves a perfect surface for oil and acrylik paint. This gesso, like all of the Natural Earth Paint products, are a blessing to my studio and the planet. Thank you Natural Earth Paint!
I am enjoying using this solvent and not feeling ill (I do even with odorless mineral spirits) so this is a great addition to my multi-media kit, and I feel better using something that is eco-friendly.
I was given a gift certificate to Natural Earth Paint and didn't realize there were safer options. I have tried their acrylics in a tube and they work great. I'm so happy to have found this alternative. And the staff were very helpful when I had a glitch that I created with the order.
Been waiting for this natural gesso for a long time. It goes on smoothly and performs beautifully. Love it!!!
