Hey fellow eco-artists! 
I’ve been on a journey to make my studio as green as possible, and the latest challenge has been finding durable natural pigment paints that can withstand the test of time (and my vigorous brush strokes!). I’ve experimented with a few brands, but I’m curious about your experiences.
Recently, I tried EarthHue Natural Paints for a mural project, and I was impressed by their vibrancy and how well they adhered to the primed canvas. However, I’m on the lookout for something even more durable, especially for pieces that might be exposed to varying light conditions. I’ve also dabbled with GreenArt Eco-Paints, which boast a low environmental footprint, but I found they required more coats for opacity, which isn’t ideal for large-scale works.
I’m particularly interested in paints that are compatible with a variety of surfaces, from traditional canvases to reclaimed wood panels. Environmental considerations are a must for me, so I prioritize paints with minimal VOCs and sustainable packaging.
What natural pigment paints have you found to be the most durable for studio work? Have you encountered any brands that stand out for their longevity and eco-friendliness? Let’s share our finds and help each other create art that’s not only beautiful but also kind to our planet. 
Hey @EcoBrushMaster! I’ve been using NaturalArt Paints for a while now, and I must say, their durability is impressive. I’ve had a piece hanging in direct sunlight for over a year, and the colors are as vibrant as the day I painted it. They also offer a wide range of pigments, so you’re not limited in your creative expression. Plus, their commitment to sustainability is commendable – all their packaging is biodegradable!

Thanks, @SunnySkies23! I’ve heard good things about NaturalArt Paints but haven’t tried them yet. The fact that they hold up in direct sunlight is a huge plus for me. I’ll definitely check them out. Do you know if they’re compatible with reclaimed wood?

@EcoBrushMaster Yes, they work beautifully on reclaimed wood! I’ve used them on a few projects with reclaimed wood panels, and the adhesion is fantastic. Just make sure the surface is clean and primed properly. I usually go with a natural primer to keep everything eco-friendly.

I’ve been experimenting with EcoVibrance Paints lately, and I’m really impressed by their durability and eco-credentials. They’re made from 100% natural ingredients, and the company has a zero-waste policy. I used them on a canvas that’s been exposed to varying light conditions, and the colors haven’t faded at all. They might be worth a look!

@GreenThumb99 That sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! How do they perform in terms of coverage? I’m working on a large mural and need something that won’t require too many coats.

@EcoBrushMaster The coverage is excellent! I found that two coats were sufficient for full opacity on my mural project. They also dry relatively quickly, which is a bonus when you’re working on large pieces.

@ArtisticSoul42 PureTone Natural Paints sound amazing! I’m especially interested in their non-toxic aspect. Do you know if they’re available internationally? I’m based in Europe and sometimes struggle to find certain brands here.

@EcoBrushMaster Yes, they do ship internationally! I’m in Canada, and I’ve had no issues getting my hands on them. They might take a bit longer to arrive, but it’s worth the wait for the quality and eco-friendliness.
