Eco Oil Painting Guide & Mixing Instructions

Quality: Includes premium quality pigments, sustainably harvested from around the world, carefully ground to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to each pigment.

Note: Each pigment color is a unique material with a different set of characteristics, such as liquid absorbency, volume, texture, tinting strength, drying time, and granulation. Because of these characteristics, they each require a different volume of oil to create the desired paint consistency.

Mixing tools not included. This kit goes perfectly with our Paint Mixing Tools Kit. Mix pigments with walnut oil using a palette knife or a glass muller for more thorough mixing.

How We Handle Shipping Issues

Once an order leaves our facility, delivery is handled by the selected shipping carrier. Any delivery issues must be addressed directly with the carrier, as they are responsible for transporting the package to its destination. For USPS shipments, we’ve found that contacting your local post office is often the most effective first step.

You may track your shipment or submit a missing mail claim through the carrier used for your order—either the U.S. Postal Service or UPS.

While we make every effort to process and ship orders promptly, we are not able to retrieve or locate packages once they are in transit. In the event of a delay or loss, we ask for your patience while the carrier completes its investigation. Replacement items or refunds can only be issued after the carrier has made a formal determination.

After an order leaves our facility, responsibility transfers to the carrier, but we’re glad to offer support and direction should any delivery issues occur.

If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 10 days of delivery. Include your order number and photos of the damaged product and packaging.

We do everything possible to make sure acrylik paint and medium will arrive undamaged in winter. We insulate packages and add heat packs to help ensure paint will not freeze in transit, however, we cannot guarantee that acrylik paint and medium will always arrive undamaged. We will not replace or refund acrylik paint that has been ruined by freezing temperatures.

If an order is marked “delivered” by the carrier but you have not received it, please let us know, but do note that we will insist you make every effort to find the package on your end, including checking with neighbors and waiting at least 2 more days for delivery. If the package does not show up, we will assist you in starting a trace with the carrier or make another determination about how to handle the issue.

Return Policies

We offer full refunds on any defective or damaged products. We also offer full refunds (less shipping costs) on elective returns if the product is in re-sellable condition (including the packaging) and the return has been made within 3 months of the purchase.

PRODUCT FAQs

Why should I mix my own paint when I can buy paint pre-made?Mixing your own oil paint using completely non-toxic and natural oil and earth pigments is the best and safest way to make paint! We believe that the extra step of mixing your own paint is well worth the peace of mind of knowing you are using the safest and most sustainable paint on the market. Most pre-made paints on the market contain a variety of toxic chemical stabilizers, petrochemicals, fillers, and preservatives. Natural pigments provide an unsurpassed luminosity, depth of color, UV resistance, humidity resistance, and archival qualities. Conventional paints are the "fast food" approach that the mainstream paint industry thinks consumers demand, but we believe our customers deserve better.

How much pigment do I need to add? What is the ratio of pigment to oil when mixing oil paint? Unfortunately, every color has a completely different oil: pigment ratio because each color absorbs moisture differently and each pigment has different molecular structure, size, density, drying time, etc. You simply pour the pigment onto the palette and add small amounts of oil at a time and mix until it makes a smooth, thick paste. You can use a glass dropper to add drops at a time. Use Eco-Solve in place of toxic solvents to thin paint.

How long does the oil paint last after mixed and how should I store it?
The oil paints in the Complete Eco-friendly Oil Paint Kit usually stay wet on the palette for up to a week, but any extra paint can be stored in aluminum foil, air-tight glass jars, or aluminum tubes. For more information on storing oil paints, visit our blog. You can store them in glass jars with screw on / air tight lids or even better, store them in aluminum tubes.

Do I need to use a muller?
The muller isn't absolutely necessary. You can just use the palette knife to mix paint if you mix thoroughly by pressing and swirling repeatedly. The purpose for the glass muller is to make 100% sure that every particle of pigment is completely coated in oil. Because if there are any air pockets in the paint, then the paint might crack after a long period of time.

Why don’t you offer pre-mixed oil paint for sale? To manufacture oil paint in tubes, you need to guarantee a really long shelf life for the tubes to sit in stores for years. To do that you need to add toxic additives, preservatives and stabilizers to make sure the paint never separates and is completely preserved and stable. We promote mixing the paint, yourself to avoid having anything else in the paint to detract from the pure luminosity of just pigment and oil, like the Old Masters used, and also to avoid toxins. It does take time and another step though so you have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself.

How do I clean up the oil paint?
Large amounts of oil or oil paint should be disposed of according to your city’s local ordinances.

To wash oil paint from your hands and body:

Option 1: Use Pinerite Natural Hand Cleaner.

Option 2: Rub a small amount of oil into the paint on your skin, then wipe off with a rag and wash with soap and water.

To clean brushes:

Option 1: Pour a small amount of Eco-Solve* into a glass jar (just enough to cover the brush bristles if you dunk your brush), then swirl your brush until the majority of paint comes off. Finish washing brushes with soap and water.

Option 2: Simply use pure oil, like walnut, to thin your paint and clean your brushes

Option 3: Use Murphy’s Oil Soap from any hardware store.

*You can re-use Eco-solve nearly indefinitely just like regular solvent. After cleaning your brushes, let it sit in a covered glass jar for a few days to a week and then the paint sediment will settle to the bottom. You can carefully pour the "clean" eco-solve that is on top into another container, then the paint sludge left in the jar can be wiped out and disposed of in the trash or washed down the drain if the paint is non-toxic and safe for waterways.

How long does the oil paint take to dry to the touch?
On average, it takes about 4-7 days for oil paint to dry, but it may take shorter or longer depending on your surrounding conditions and the thickness of paint layers. To speed drying time, add some Sun thickened Linseed Oil.

NOTE: There isn’t any water in oil paint to evaporate (unlike acrylics which dry by evaporation) so traditional oil paints dry by oxidization, which occurs when the oil reacts with oxygen in the air and hardens. This is why you shouldn’t varnish an oil painting until it is fully cured, as putting varnish on a partially dry (to the touch) painting won’t allow air through the varnish layer and will stop the painting from drying properly and fully.

Who would benefit from our Oil Paint?

Oil painters who are sensitive to or simply want to avoid exposure to solvents (white spirit, mineral spirits, turpentine), heavy metal toxins, petroleum-based pigments, and toxic additives.
Students and teachers in schools and colleges where the practice of oil painting is prohibited because of the toxic solvents and the heavy metal toxins notorious in conventional paints such as lead white or any of the cadmium or cobalt colors.
Artists working in shared studio space where the buildup of fumes could lead to an acutely dangerous concentration of vapors.
Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the fumes of oil painting.
Artists who want more vibrancy and luminosity in their paintings without fillers and preservatives to dull the color and a supremely archival and lightfast painting.
Artists on-the-go who frequently travel by air and need a painting option that’s easy and safe to carry with them and have no hazard restrictions.
Earth-conscious artists who want to protect the planet, take control of their materials, or mix their own paints like the Old Masters of the Renaissance.

What age group is the oil paint for?
Teenagers and up

Does your Titanium White paint yellow over time?
If your white paint is yellowing, it’s actually the oil that’s turning it yellow, not the pigment itself. Some painters mix Liquid Gold Hempseed Oil or poppyseed oil (since it is the clearest of all oils) with their white pigments only instead of walnut or linseed oil, to stop it from yellowing. Many artists do that for just white. We carry walnut oil because it is less yellowing than linseed oil although linseed oil dries faster which some people prefer.

We sell walnut oil because it is less yellowing than linseed oil although there will be slight yellowing over time.

These natural French mineral powder is fantastic in understanding the process and details of producing our own diy paints. Thanks, Natural Earth Paint staff.

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.

Very high quality, beautiful rich colors. Excellent!!

You get a lot to work with!

I'm surprised how much product you get in the packages, from the oils to the pigments. I'm mainly using these for watercolors with a handmade binder, and I find even just a teaspoon yields two half pans that rewet easily with a great pigment payout! Love it! I'll be having a lot of fun with these. I may just order more when I dabble with making oil pastels.

Outstanding!!!

I absolutely LOVE these paints! I discovered my passion for painting in college and thought that I would paint for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I developed multiple health challenges a few years after graduating from college, and this made me incredibly sensitive to chemicals. I was devastated when I realized that I might never be able to paint again because all of my painting supplies were loaded with toxins. Then I discovered Natural Earth Paint pigments, which are just as vibrant and high-quality as the professional-grade paints I used in college. The only difference between them is that Natural Earth Paint pigments are 100 percent free of toxins and harmful chemicals! I feel great when I use them and have never experienced any sensitivity to any Natural Earth Paint products. I love what this company is doing, and I wished that more art companies would follow its lead. Art supplies that are safe for artists AND the planet should be the standard, not the exception.

Brilliant

Brilliant. I'm telling you you'll have a unique satisfaction by painting with the colors you have grinded yourself. Works so well

Superior Quality, Peace of Mind

I absolutely love my new paints! I am a professional artist and usually buy large quantities of paint. I got the Earth Oil Paint Kit to test out if I would like using these new paints. I'm glad to report that they are higher quality than I was using and best of all, I can paint and clean up with peace of mind. thank you, Natural Earth Paint for creating these gems of products!

The best cleanest pigments I have come across

I was recommended your line by an amazing artist turtle art studio and at first I felt hesitant because I have never use earth pigmentation to paint :art: but once she showed me how to make my own I was hooked! The best part of your line is that is safe around my little one and I can use them while pregnant!! Also great prices on your products you make them affordable.
Thank you, Johana Sullivan
Look forward to sharing your product with my friends

Learning Curve

There's a definite learning curve to making your own paints. I bought the kit and several additional individual colors. The walnut oil is lovely. The solvent has a mild and pleasant smell, but it bothered my allergies, so I won't be using it (I'm allergic to soy and several dozen other things, so I still think it would work brilliantly for most people). I do have issues with the texture of some of the pigments. The burnt sienna, burnt umber, venetian red, raw sienna, and raw umber were very grainy, and I found them unusable. After much experimentation, I eventually landed on a mixture of colors that do work for me. I'm using the black, white, and yellow ocher, which are all opaque colors, to make a grisaille, and I'm using the brilliant yellow, mayan red, ultramarine blue, and ultramarine purple, which are all reasonably transparent, for glazing layers. I haven't had issues with any of these colors and that unpleasant grainy texture. The only things I haven't tried yet are the terre verte and the orange ochre. Overall, this was a positive experience, and Natural Earth Paints is still going to be my exclusive supplier for oil paint materials. I love the excellent lightfastness and the dedication to providing materials that aren't toxic. I just won't re-buy any of the pigments I mentioned above as being problematically grainy.

Love the quality and colors

I really love the rich beauty and the quality of the colors. It would have been nice if there was a choice for the kit to have bright colors or rich colors. I would have just bought them both, though. Ordered more paint today in the brighter colors.

Mixed bag

Arrived quickly—thanks! It would be great to have a sturdier container than zip-lock bags. Also, the yellow that arrived is too dark to mix a bright green. I think you should include a light yellow with the starter kit.

excellent service

My products arrived super fast to Australia and I was so excited to see them. They are beautifully packaged and with a discount voucher for my next purchase plus great info. I cannot wait to use them this weekend. Thanks for your professional service and also for filling this niche area.

Love it!

Love it!

Love it!

Gonna be ordering many more things from you guys including this wonderful paint! Thanks!

Very Happy with Eco Paints

Upon research, I was very happy to find your company. It is good to have peace of mind knowing the paints I am using do not pollute our water or air. My kit came with a wide variety of beautiful colors. It has been awhile since I last used oil paints until now. I had little to no trouble mixing the paints to the right consistancy. Some paints take more mixing to get a smooth texture. Overall this was a great purchase. I will be a return costumer. I especially like the eco-solve solvent. It smells great with no side effects!

It's not here yet....I will

It's not here yet....I will tell you when I get it...

Poor packaging...and bad service!

My package came with paint pigments spilled inside (not sealed properly), and the glass plate was broken into pieces. I left a message the day it arrived last week to call me for credit or replacement, but still haven't heard anything back. Have not used the paints yet to know how they are, but still waiting on a call back. ;-(

very smooth purchase

I was so excited to receive the Oil Paint kit from a friend who was visiting me in Vancouver, Canada from Texas, to whom I had shipped my order and who brought the product to me. I had only a few days left for the product to arrive at her house in Texas before her departure, but the Oil Paint Kit arrived just on time and because of your very prompt service and shipping and the tracking service I didn't have to worry too much about whether the product would make it on time or not.

I was so excited to open the kit box as if I was opening a christmas present as a kid. The package is done beautifully and the pigments look all so vibrant. I still need to buy a few more items to start my very first oil painting, but I am just so excited to try out your products and am so happy that your oil paints will be my very first oil paints I will ever try. I am so happy that I will be moving away from my acrylic paints as the plastic smell of it really bothers me ( I am very sensitive to smell) and I am very concern about the environment that can be damaged by the art world. Thank you for creating your products! I believe in your philosophy and your dedicated work towards the preserving the beauty earth wise and art wise!

Beautiful paints and great experience

Thank you for creating these paints, they are exactly what I was looking and hoping for. The entire experience from ordering to receiving the package was flawless.

Great kit for newbie artist!

I'm just now getting into oil painting (thanks to a gift certificate to this store that I got for my birthday!), and I'm really very impressed with the quality of these paints! The pigments are a lovely assortment, and mixing them with the oil is very easy. A lot less complicated than I was expecting. This is a great gift for a person interested in getting into oil painting. The natural way!

Amazing Colors!

I bought the Complete Eco-friendly Artist Oil Paint Kit, as well as two extra packets of pigments I expected to us a lot of. They made up a good deal of paint, so I'm impressed with the economy of NEP! Not just that, but the colors are amazing...and the smell of the walnut oil in the paints is very pleasant. Thanks for creating this wonderful natural paint!

Very fun!

As a complete amateur, I'm enjoying the new experience and look of these paints! The colors are amazing, and I feel at ease using all natural products like these. I would love to see a natural varnish option.

My Paint

I LOOOOOVE this paint and I love that it is safe too.The colors are so rich and clear I am saving my money to purchase some of the metallic and the new mayan turquoise.

Haven't used yet

Haven't used these pigments before but the color and consistency look great. I still haven't used them yet.
