Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard liquid temperas that often contain synthetic preservatives and microplastics, Natural Earth Paint utilizes raw minerals. It offers a much higher pigment load than typical supermarket art kits, allowing for opaque coverage that resembles professional gouache. While liquid paints may dry out in the bottle, these powdered pigments remain shelf-stable for years, providing better long-term value for occasional crafters.

What to know before buying

1. Determine the volume of paint needed as the powder is highly concentrated and expands when mixed.
2. Prepare a small mixing jar or palette to blend the individual earth pigments with water.
3. Clean brushes immediately after use to maintain the integrity of the natural plant-based binders.
4. Store unused mixed paint in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to keep the natural ingredients fresh.
5. Apply the paint to porous surfaces like paper, wood, or stone for the most durable finish.
