Natural Pigments

Earth-based ochre pigment samples in various shades

Earth-Based Ochres

Sourced from natural clay deposits, these pigments provide warm yellows, reds, and browns that have been used in art for centuries.

Plant-derived green and blue pigments from natural sources

Plant-Derived Colors

Extracted from leaves, roots, and flowers, these organic pigments offer vibrant greens and subtle blues without synthetic additives.

Mineral-based paint pigments with natural texture

Mineral Powders

Finely ground minerals create rich, opaque colors that maintain their intensity over time while being completely natural.

Sustainable Binders

Plant-Based Binders

Our paints use natural binders derived from plant sources such as linseed oil, gum arabic, and casein. These materials create durable paint films while remaining biodegradable.

  • Linseed oil for oil-based formulas
  • Gum arabic for watercolor applications
  • Casein for matte finish options

Water-Based Formulas

Many of our products use water as the primary vehicle, reducing the need for solvents and making cleanup easier and more environmentally friendly.

  • Low VOC emissions
  • Easy cleanup with soap and water
  • Safe for indoor use

Brush Materials

Eco-friendly paint brushes with sustainable bristle materials

Natural and Synthetic Blends

Our brushes combine the best of natural and synthetic materials to provide optimal performance while maintaining ethical sourcing standards.

Natural bristles from ethically sourced animal hair provide excellent paint retention, while synthetic alternatives offer durability and consistency. Many of our brushes feature handles made from sustainably harvested wood or recycled materials.

Understanding Material Quality

The quality of your painting materials directly affects the final result. By choosing natural, sustainably sourced pigments and binders, you're not only creating beautiful art but also supporting responsible manufacturing practices.
