I'm moving from non-toxic, plant-based watercolors to acrylics and these have been excellent to explore. Great with the medium, vivid colors, mixes and layers well. Will be my go to!
I’ve been using the pigments with epoxy and so far they have all worked out well and make some unique colors for natural earth tones. I’ve only made samples so far but I can’t wait to do a big project with these. Definitely with be ordering more.
I am overjoyed to have the eco-friendly options your company creates and offers.
I have used water miscible oil paints for over 20 years. I've tried about every brand available.
Without going into detail I have never been completely satisfied with the performance of any of them.
I've wanted to get back to using traditional oils but I won't use VOC solvents. I've tried about every alternative to solvents that've come onto the market. The majority of non-VOC cleaning products and methods I've tried work well to clean brushes and palettes and other tools of the craft. That part's easy. I needed a thinner that worked like turpentine. Something that allowed me to thin my paints, make them more "creamy," and apply a wash or thin underpainting just like turps.
When I saw that Eco-Solv was advertised as not only a cleaner but a "thinner" I bought a small container for a trial. Frankly I'd been disappointed enough times I wasn't too hopeful. I tested it in studio and it seemed promising. It pretty much instantly diluted the paint.
When I recently went plein air painting for a week I took the plunge and swapped out my water-miscible kit for traditional oils and a brush washer containing Eco-Solv. I ended up with a half-dozen 8X10 and 9X12 pieces. I used the product just as I would have done in the distant past with a container of odorless turps. The slightest amounts were used when I wanted to thin my paint mixes and when switching colors on a brush or cleaning up after a session I swirled the brush in the Eco-Solv and wiped it on a paper towel just as a would have in turps. I used the same container of product the entire week. At the end of the week my brushes would wash out at sessions end almost as clean as they did at the start of my trip. I use synthetics so I can't speak to how it performs with hog bristle.
I will pour the used product into a glass jar as a test to see how well the particles settle out. My studies are in the drying rack. I can't yet say how the paint film will hold up at this point but several are dry to the touch and there's no tackiness (those of you who use water miscible oils will appreciate that). They "feel" like a nice dry oil painting is supposed to feel. In summary I'm impressed. Not yet so much I'm going to run out and buy a 64 oz. jug but I'm hopeful.
A years' long search for finding an acrylic alternative with just the right consistency is finally over. Can't tell you how happy I am to have found an eco-friendly paint that's waterproof. The Fluid Acrylik is wonderful to work with, and the quick drying time lead to lots of fun and fast experimentation. Highly recommended. I'll be using this A LOT.
To be honest, it will be a while before I can use it. However, paint toxins are a big concern for me. I'm grateful you made this product. Thank you so much.
The tubes have slight imperfections but I personally do not care because the amazing truly non-toxic paint still works great! :) I love when the option to purchase these imperfect tubes is available!
This has been a great replacement for stand oil - love that it's non-yellowing and made in the USA. Non-toxic and sustainable - all wins 😁
As an oil painter concerned about environmental impact- I purchased these hoping there is less toxicity. Even with retarder - these dry much more quickly than I am used to. I do love the matte finish unlike other acrylic paint which tend to be shiny and plasticy.
I only wish the ingredients were listed. For a creative person prioritizing imprint - this transparency would go a long way.
We let both of the kids paint their faces this weekend. Both have sensitive skin and so far there is no skin reaction. Would love to have dry bulk face paint available to add our own oil to. One of the kids is sure he is the most recent member of KISS and we my be going through a lot of black and white face paint.
Delighted to find a varnish that doesn't contain plastic, toxic chemicals or animal products. It dries quickly and actually smells good!
I have 3 eye droppers and have had then for maybe 2 weeks or so. This is my first time makeing acrylic paints and watercolors but these droppers make keeping everything neat and in ratio a breeze and for me I droped one at about 5 feet onto tile floor and it didn't break or crack it holds water no leaks to report l was amazed I do not know if this will be true for all people or even myself in the future but they are built to last.
Their products are awesomely phenomenal. They’re very fast on shipping and very very polite to work with. I really care about this company. They’ve taken very good care of me with each and every order I’ve made.
We are annual customers. I suggest doubling or tripling the recipe (especially for jumbo eggs). We have also used these on wooden eggs and the colors turn out well.
I recently purchased the Earth Colours Paint Set and couldn't be happier. I have tried regular acrylics and can't stand the fumes. I also wanted something that was safer for the planet. I've been trying the Liquitex Bio-based line as well as these paints in tandem, and I can say that I prefer these by a landslide. When the others run out I will not be buying them again. I wold love to see more colours available, but regardless, I'm thrilled!
This is very handy, a good guide to what kinds of colours can be mixed etc. I do wish that it was bigger though, I find it hard to look at the swatches (I need reading glasses).
I'm so glad that I ordered all four brushes! I love the faux mongoose bristles, they're so soft yet firm. I would love to see bigger brushes, a large flat and a larger filbert would be amazing. Great quality brushes.
I’ve worked in numerous mediums but have wanted to go back to acrylics for some finger painting of wildlife and flowers. (I used to get in trouble in college for doing it many years ago.) Needless to say I was very excited to see an ad for your paints! What timing! I’m working on 5-6 pieces for a show and I’m so pleased with your paints! Beautiful and rich, I’m having a blast with no worries of all the bad stuff! Great paint with Mother Earth and us in mind and women owned! What a blessing!
I’ve added a section of one piece, the original is 2’x3’.
These paints are lovely and were shipped in a timely manner with a lot of care. Thank you!
I was blown away by how rich the fluid paints are! Deeply pigmented, you can dilute with water and the colour is still vibrant. So smooth, paint like a dream.
I’ve been using Natural Earth Paints’ acrylik and fluid acrylik paint, and their acrylik medium for several months now. I’m very familiar with all the major brands of artist’s acrylic paint (Golden, Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, M. Graham, etc.) having used them for decades.
Natural Earth Paints’ acrylik paints and medium are vibrant, work easily, and honestly a pleasure to use! I highly recommend them for children, schools, hobbyists, and professional artists like myself!
I’m attaching a couple of recent paintings I’ve done with them here.
I’m in love with both the natural plant-created aspect of this product, and also the incredible color, rich pigment and its coverage as well. It’s a pleasure to work with, and easy to create new colors when blended. The shipping is not quite as fast as I would like, but worth waiting for and it is beautifully packed with precautions taken to keep it from extreme heat or cold. Very cool and most appreciated!
The intensity of these pigments is incredible! It is so nice to mix your own paint with these. I feel a sense of control in my art world like I never have before. Having been forced to use toxic paints in the past, I feel a special sense of freedom and ease of mind which is conducive to really enjoying my painting
It's super fun and easy to mix my own paint with this. I feel so good knowing I'm not going to kill fish or other wildlife with it going down the drain like the other toxic paints I've used in the past.
