Natural Earth & Mineral Pigments are beautifully archival, eco-friendly, and sustainably-harvested from around the world. They contain no added fillers, additives, preservatives, stabilizers, or heavy metals.
Use these vibrant colours to add passion to your pieces. Make a beautiful palette of colours.
Each pigment is available in 85g. and 450g packages. (Please contact us for greater bulk amounts!)
Each natural pigment has a different set of characteristics, such as liquid absorption, volume, tinting strength, and granulation. Because of these characteristics, they each require a different volume of binder to create the desired paint consistency.
Use our earth pigments to create your own professional watercolours, guache, pastels, tempera, printmaking ink, modelling clay and more!
Safety: Use care when handling any dry pigment; it’s not healthy to breathe any type of dust into your lungs, even if it is non-toxic and natural (like our pigments). Avoid inhaling pigment dust and use a mask when mixing if needed.
Colour: Since computer monitors, tablets and smartphones may differ in how they display colours, the actual pigment powders we sell may differ slightly from their product image as displayed on your device. We do not guarantee colours based on these images.
