Key features & specs

How it compares

In the landscape of modern art supplies, the Natural Earth Paint Kit stands out by eschewing the petroleum-based binders found in traditional acrylics and the heavy metal pigments common in professional oils. While many student-grade watercolors use synthetic dyes, these pigments provide a depth and texture unique to mineral-sourced colors.

Compared to liquid gouache or pre-mixed watercolors, this powdered format offers a significantly longer shelf life and lower carbon footprint during shipping. It competes effectively with high-end mineral watercolors but provides greater versatility, as the pigments can be mixed with various vegan binders to create different textures.

How to use it

1. Scoop the desired amount of dry pigment onto a non-porous palette or glass muller.
2. Add small drops of water or the included vegan binder to the powder.
3. Mix thoroughly with a palette knife until a smooth, cream-like consistency is achieved.
4. Adjust the water ratio to create either transparent watercolor effects or opaque gouache finishes.
5. Store any leftover mixed paint in an airtight glass jar for up to two weeks in a cool place.
6. Clean your brushes and tools easily with just soap and warm water.

Sustainability & ethics

Natural Earth Paint focuses on a circular production model, sourcing minerals from small-scale quarries that prioritize land restoration. The brand utilizes solar power at their Oregon facility and ensures that all packaging is biodegradable or indefinitely recyclable, entirely avoiding the microplastics common in the arts industry.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Natural Earth Paint Kit worth it?

Yes, this kit is worth it because the concentrated pigments offer significantly better coverage and lightfastness than cheaper synthetic alternatives. It provides a professional finish while lasting longer than liquid sets.

Does this paint work for professional canvas art?
