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.

Shipping & returns

Eco-Friendly Practices

We are a small, woman-owned and run business operating out of a solar-powered facility in Southern Oregon. We also double as a used packaging drop-off site for local residents and businesses. We use 100% post-consumer recycled packaging, home compostable paint pouches and recyclable glass and aluminum bottles for our products.

We give back by donating to "One Tree Planted" and "Rogue Climate" every month and continue to donate to various humanitarian and environment causes throughout the year.

Generally, all orders are shipped using zero-waste packaging and materials. Our shipping department uses paper stuffing and biodegradable paper tape, with the exception of shipping glass, as noted in the product descriptions for products made of glass.

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 and the return has been made within 3 months of the purchase.

Shipping Policies

Free Standard Shipping on orders above $100 for U.S. customers.

Orders containing in-stock items are typically processed within 2 business days from when we receive the order during operating hours. If a purchase contains out-of-stock or pre-order items, we will ship the order once ALL items are available and it can be fulfilled completely. Once an order is shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information; please save this email in case of any issues with your order.

After a package leaves our facility, it becomes the responsibility of the contracted carrier to get it to you. Any issues or problems that arise must be resolved with them directly. For USPS orders in particular, we've be instructed that it is best for the recipient to first speak with their local post office regarding any concerns.

Additionally, you can monitor your shipment or file a claim for lost mail with each of the carriers we use: U.S. Postal ServiceUPS, or FedEx.

We work hard to ensure orders are processed and received as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, we're unable to locate lost or delayed packages. We recognize errors happen and ask for your patience in those circumstances, but we will not ship replacement items or issue refunds until a formal determination is made by the carrier. Please use the resources outlined above to seek resolution if needed.

 

International Shipping

If you’re ordering from EuropeCanadaAustralia or New Zealand, please click the appropriate link to visit the distributor for your region. We normally ship USPS International for international orders, and the order typically takes 2-3 weeks for delivery. Due to global constraints, shipping times may vary, and additional delays can occur due to customs inspections. Since we never know if a package will be held at customs, any import fees or taxes applied to the delivery must be paid by the recipient.

PRODUCT FAQs

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. 

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?
To clean oil paint from your hands and body, our Pinerite Natural Hand Cleaner is the perfect all-natural solution. Our Eco-Solve can be used to clean oil paints off hard surfaces, clothing, carpet, or fabric.

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.  

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.
