Top Products for Eco-Conscious Oil Painters and Art Supplies
Our bestselling eco-friendly oil paint kit includes everything you need to begin your non-toxic oil painting journey. Each kit contains pure earth pigments from yellow ochre to titanium white, organic walnut oil, glass muller for mixing, and our plant-based Eco-Solve paint thinner—all the essentials for creating brilliant, archival-quality artwork without harmful chemicals. Use a brush or palette knife to apply these durable and radiant paints to your prepared canvas.
Experience the full spectrum of natural colour with our collection of 20 vibrant mineral pigments including ultramarine blue, ultramarine purple, venetian red, orange ochre, terre verte, and black ochre. These finely ground, pure pigments can be mixed with our walnut oil to create custom oil paints with exceptional luminosity and depth—qualities that only natural, irregular pigment particles can provide. Unlike acrylic paint, these pigments create the most archival, UV resistant artwork possible.
Replace toxic paint thinner, turpentine and mineral spirits with our plant-based, biodegradable solvent. Eco-Solve works beautifully for thinning paints, creating glazes, and cleaning your brush without the harmful fumes or environmental damage of petroleum-based alternatives. Unlike traditional thinner, our solution is vegan and free from synthetic preservatives.

FAQs
What makes these oil paints eco-friendly?
Our oil paints use natural earth and mineral pigments instead of synthetic or heavy metal-based colours. They're bound with plant oils like organic walnut oil rather than chemically processed alternatives as a natural binder. The entire production process—from pigment harvesting to solar-powered manufacturing—prioritizes environmental sustainability without additive chemicals.
Do natural oil paints perform like conventional oil paints?
Yes! While the colour palette emphasizes natural earth tones like burnt sienna rather than fluorescent or highly saturated synthetic hues, our eco-friendly oil colours offer excellent coverage, blendability, and archival quality. Many artists like our products because the subtle luminosity of natural pigments adds unique depth to their work. The time it takes for paint to dry is comparable to traditional oils.
How toxic are regular oil paints compared to natural ones?
Conventional oil paints often contain toxins and heavy metals like cadmium, cobalt, and lead in their pigments and tubes. They typically require petroleum-based solvents like turpentine for thinning and cleanup, which emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Our natural alternatives eliminate these toxins, creating a safer studio environment, whether you're using bristle brushes or a scraper.
Can I mix Natural Earth oil paints with other oil paint brands?
Absolutely. Our natural oil paints are compatible with other oil paints, though mixing with conventional brands will introduce some of their synthetic components into your paint. Many artists use our products as the foundation of their palette and supplement with specific colours from other brands when needed.
