I am happy to be an affiliate with (finally!) a paint company that aligns with my values! I recently purchased the acrylik professional paint set and used them at a Plein Air paint festival! These paints exceeded my expectations. I also used the non toxic face paints at my daughter's birthday, they wiped off at the end of the night SO easily! I am more than impressed with Earth Paints!!! Thank you.
I used less dust in my clear gesso recipe than called for, as this was the first time experimenting with it. I am pleased to find that gripping power appeared to be there for oil painting.
Initially I used too much medium. Painting was still sticky after a few days even after using a heating tool. I then used much less and got a nice shiny surface. So I would say it’s a very good product, I just had to learn to use it correctly!
The easiest way I can describe my paints made with refined walnut oil is that they smell like salad instead of toxic waste. Being around commercial oil paints bothers me in a matter of minutes, but my natural earth oil paints do not bother me at all. The refined walnut oil is very good quality and mixes easily with pigments to make paint or thin already mixed paint. I am very happy with it and use it every day.
Eco-solve works great as a thinner and brush cleaner without nasty fumes. I cannot use mineral spirits because the fumes knock me out, but I can use eco-solve with no problems. I am so happy I found Natural Earth Paints because everything I have used so far works amazingly well and does not bother me in any way.
