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.
This product helps me marry my ethos with my art practice. Originally, I bought the tubed natural acrylik paint when it first came out, and I have to say I was not that excited about it. There were things about using it that were unpleasant. Mostly the caps were hard/painful for me to open. But also, I think that the consistency just didn’t fit with what I like to use. The color selection was not that great at first. Now that they have added magenta, it has helped color mixing a lot. After trying these fluid acryliks, I feel like I have found the solution I’ve been looking for. I hate the idea of using plastic and washing it down the drain. It’s bad for the environment and it’s bad for global temperatures. Most of my art is about the environment, so there was a mismatch. These paints are very easy to use. I like the fluid consistency and there’s something about the vehicle used that makes the colors more intense than the ones in the tubes. This is very helpful in terms of how much color space you can use with these paints. There are still some gaps in colors available, however, this selection is quite respectable, and I feel, with the addition of a few other pigments, I might be able to get off plastic paint altogether. I will say also that the metallics are beautiful. The gold is somewhat transparent while the other two are pretty dense. I’m including a color chart just for your information. I just did some mixes to see what they would do. I think this is well worth the effort and I’ll probably do more. It’s helpful to understand your pigments, so that you feel like you can utilize your own inner voice while you’re painting, I initially bought the 1 ounce just to try them out. Recently I bought the 4 ounce set during a sale. I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying the 16 ounce set during the Earth Day sale. I intend for these paints to take the place of my traditional acrylic eventually. I should also mention, I love the black. It is the same pigment used in Daniel Smith’s lunar black that granulates in watercolor. If you add “too much”water to the black, so that it runs down your canvas, it will start to granulate. I love that effect. So much better than using bone black or amorphous black that most acrylic blacks are because you’re not using charred bones of animals. The one ounce bottles are a little hard for me to squeeze. I’m hoping the 4 ounce bottles will be easier. I like that they are recycled bottles even though I know drives up the price point. This company tries to make the right choices at every step and you have to respect that!
A useful chart showing the actual colour plus what it looks like when mixed with Titanium White Rutile. I shall want to make my own colour chart to see precise colours, but this is a handy guide.
This booklet is exactly what I expected, and very useful. My only issue is that I couldn't find a way to print the .pdf version as a booklet and staple it together. Instead, I will need to cut it down to individual A5 pages and glue along the side to turn it into a book.
I love that this is non toxic but I’m not a fan of adding oil. It made the paint too dark and it took days to dry. I tried adding less oil but the paint was too chunky. When I added more oil, it was too dark and again took almost a week to dry. I really wish I could only add water.
Super smooth and easy to work with! Love that it's nontoxic.
As a water fluid painter on raw canvas I was eagerly anticipating NEP’s fluid paint. It did not disappoint. The texture is a medium weight fluidity and the color is richly saturated. I look forward to continuing to experiment with the fluid technique I am perfecting using these paints.
These are the BEST!! As a professional artist, I’m transitioning to eco-friendly acrylics and these are my “go-to” paints. The only thing I can say is that I’d love to see the black in larger tubes too!!
I've been painting over 40 years and I've only recently started mixing my own paints. I bought the sample pack to show my class how to mix their own egg tempera for an assignment. I love the palette, but what stands out is the quality of these minerals. So happy I found Natural Earth Paint.
