Early painters who foraged for earthen pigments could usually find red, orange, yellow, brown, black, white, and sometimes green as earthen pigments, but blues and purples were more elusive. Each culture used a different technique to make blues and purples. Prehistoric people used manganese ore, the Egyptians used copper frits, the ancient Chinese ground up malachite and azurite, and the Etruscans ground up Lapis Lazuli stones. Our blue is made from a specific type of ochre that turns blue when cooked in the oven. I love working with these paints. They are just like traditional acrylics, but without the toxicity. I have been looking for a better alternative for a long time. Natural Acryliks are the answer.
This matte medium was the perfect addition to my collage arsenal. Love the easy, smooth application and the versatile matte finish - allowing me to easily continue adding layers of paint and/more collage.
I mixed these with polymerized linseed oil to make non-toxic oil paints. They are so rich and beautiful!
This is the second time I buy Natural Earth Paint's Natural Varnish and I couldn't be happier.
these akrylic paint is simply fantastic and easier to work with, without the process of mixing the paint myself (to which is the magic) within the process of discovery and results. Thank you, for making my craft less cumbersome, natural earth paint staff.
As a professional artist, I need top grade acrylics to ensure my paintings are at their very best. The bar is set high and it is a joy to find out that these heavy body natural acrylik paints surpassed my expectations! They blend beautifully, the colors are rich in pigment, and they maintain their consistency when using a sta-wet palette. Thank you for providing artists these quality paints to work with!!
