Why Mix My Own Paint When I Can Just Buy it Pre-made?!
If you’ve ever walked into an art supply store, you know the thrill of standing before a rainbow of premixed paints, each one promising smooth, vibrant color right out of...
These are beautiful paints! But when I opened the box and looked at all the plastic bottles I thought what’s the point now? The same types of solvents, resins, flow enhancers, curing agents and so on are used to make the bottles, as are used in plastic based acrylic paints. So what’s the point of buying this paint ? If the company used aluminum tins or tubes I would have kept this set. I’d like to see them make efforts to correct this discrepancy. (I don’t use powdered pigments with animals in our home btw)

I work in an egg tempera method but using the acrylik mediu instead of egg to mix with the powder pigments.
This was actually for my daughter. She loves your product because she will not use ‘regular’ paint. She’s excited to get it!
I really love this little ebook with recipes for making art supplies. I recently made watercolor paint and really enjoyed the process and the result.
Been enjoying my new art supplies. I’m in love! Gotrid of all my old paints and mediums because I had to have a (thankfully low grade non-invasive) bladder cancer removed. I read research showing that there’s a 30% higher chance of getting that if you are an artist that paints. I was so grateful to find Natural Earth Paint. Really good quality products and I don’t have to worry about risking my health. Ordering process was pleasant and they made it easy to track my package coming all the way across the country and in a timely manner. Now that I’ve gotten acquainted with the oil paint kit I know what I need to stock up on and what else I would like to try. Looking forward to ordering again.
