The colors are beautiful. There is no toxic smell and the paints are easy to work with. I have been hoping to find a more environmentally friendly paint for a long time.
I decided to try this natural acrylic paint after having bad experiences with oil and standard acrylic paint. I finally decided to just go ahead and try out this because I didn’t want to give up on painting altogether. You are paying a premium compared to regular heavy body acrylics, but you are getting your health back. I normally have sore throat when working with any type of paint, including acrylics, but this has been the least harmful paint that I have ever worked with. Buy these imperfect tubes to give you an idea of how well these perform compared to conventional paints. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.
I love that I can buy one pigment and make multiple art supplies with it (and it's non-toxic to boot). So far I've mixed the pigments with the natural acrylik medium and used them for silk painting, thinning the paint slightly with water. I also did a little block printing on the silk using the mixture without thinning it.
I also mixed some water color paints using the recipe in the pigment package, and found that some colors were a little grainy, while others were quite smooth. I purchased the glass plate and muller for better mixing but have yet to try it out.
I was looking for a quick and easy way to paint on fabric with natural ingredients that are washable, this fit the bill!
I combined earth pigments with this acrylik medium and painted a silk scarf that I love (and it's hand washable). Thinning it slightly with a little water made for easier silk painting, but too much water interfered with its ability to adhere to fabric. The paint does affect the hand of the fabric somewhat, but any acrylic paint will do that. This medium behaves similar to other acrylics and I would choose this over synthetic stuff any day!
I even did a little wood-block printing with it on the scarf.
An absolutely fantastic product! Cleans brushes and is an excellent paint thinner as well. My 15 year old grandson is showing interest in oil painting . Feels so good to share the Eco-Solve with him and know he will never have to be exposed to mineral spirits !
I got these to try in encaustic medium. They mix well and are vibrant 😊
