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.
