Giving Spotlight: One Tree Planted
In an effort to spread the word about the incredible organizations we give back to and the work they're accomplishing, we're introducing our Giving Spotlight blog series. This month's spotlight...
I love Natural Earth acrylics. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I am no longer dumping pollutants in the water system or inhaling toxins.
As a first-time user of this product, I have to say I’m disappointed. After about five hours, the surface of my painting is still noticeably tacky. I understand that drying time depends on factors like humidity and the thickness of the application, but I’m working in a climate-controlled studio and applied a normal, even coat with a brush.
I’d recommend doing a test before using it on an important piece, as the other mediums I regularly use dry much more quickly under the same conditions. I’m hopeful it will fully cure within the next 24 hours, but based on this first experience, I’m hesitant to use it again.
These pigmants are incredibly beautiful and rich. I've bought the entire collection at this point, and exclusively use natural earth paints for my art! Im impressed by the richness and beauty of the pimants. It's a fairly easy process to mix your own paint at home! It can get messy, and it's a little inconsistent. But once you get used to mixing your own paint, the quality is phenomenal! I also like that the consistency of the paints change a little bit. I can alter the consistency intentionally, and do some interesting techniques. The possibilities are limitless. I will forever buy from this company!
This is the healthier swap for turpentine or odorless mineral spirits. It does everything you need it to. It’s non-yellowing and archival. I have gotten rid of all the odorless mineral spirits I was using and couldn’t be happier. Health is important.
I love working with these paints. They are just like traditional acrylics, but without the toxicity. I have been looking for a better alternative for a long time. Natural Acryliks are the answer.
This matte medium was the perfect addition to my collage arsenal. Love the easy, smooth application and the versatile matte finish - allowing me to easily continue adding layers of paint and/more collage.
