Een fijne olieverf starter-set voor kunstenaars die met natuurlijke verf willen gaan werken

De basis van deze unieke, duurzame en hoge kwaliteit verf wordt gevormd door minerale pigmenten en aarde. Verf zoals de oude meesters het gebruikten.
Kunstenaars die ermee werken geven aan dat zij enorm blij zijn met een eerlijke, kleurechte verf die niet giftig is. Vele kunstenaars zijn overgestapt op natuurlijke verf en benodigdheden vanwege de hoge toxiciteit van veel standaard producten.

Ontdek het fascinerende proces; hoe je simpelweg met het pigmentpoeder en walnotenolie jouw eigen kleur kunt maken. Natural Earth Oil Paint is een prachtig product omdat het 100% natuurlijk, kleurecht in natuurlijke tinten, economisch en duurzaam in gebruik is en het draagt bij aan een gezonder klimaat in je atelier.

De set bevat:

  • 10 natuurlijke aarde minerale pigmenten, in zakjes van ca. 56 gram poeder (maakt ca 60 ml per kleur): Venetian Red, Orange Ochre, Yellow Ochre, Terre Verte, Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Purple, Black Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Titanium White en Burnt Umber, verpakt in biologisch afbreekbare zakjes.*
  • ca. 120 ml walnotenolie. Dit is de olie om de pigmenten mee te mengen.
  • ca. 120 ml eco-solve (ecologische-terpentine). Een niet giftige, op plantaardige basis gemaakte terpentine. Deze gebruik je als verfverdunner of als kwastreiniger.
  • Gebruiksaanwijzing

Alles zit in een 100% gerecyclede geschenkdoos.
Let op: de olie en de terpentine in deze starter-set hebben een dosis om alle kleuren te kunnen uitproberen voor 1 of 2 schildersessies. Om de gehele inhoud aan pigmenten te kunnen aanmaken heb je een aanvulling nodig van walnotenolie en eco-solve, de ecologische terpentine. 

De set bestaat uit topkwaliteit pigmenten, duurzaam geoogst over de gehele wereld. Iedere kleur is zorgvuldig gemalen om de optimale helderheid en schoonheid uit elk pigment te halen. Door zelf de dikte samen te stellen kan je blijven spelen met texturen en kleurverzadiging. De Natural Earth Paint olieverf is niet te vergelijken met andere olieverven met synthetische pigmenten. De verf van Natural Earth Paint is vrij van vulstoffen, additieven, synthetische conserveermiddelen, toxinen, aardolie gebaseerde pigmenten en zware metalen. De kleurechtheid is 100% te noemen

FAQ

COMPLETE OIL PAINT KIT
Q: Can the paint be mixed and stored in small glass jars with screw on lids?
A: Yes, absolutely, or even better, store them in aluminum tubes. I wrote a blog post about exactly that topic on our website. https://naturalearthpaint.com/blog/how-to-store-your-mixed-oil-paints-or-keep-them-wet-longer-natural-earth-paint-/
Q: How long do the oil paints take to dry on canvas.
A: The mixed oil paint does take 3-8 days to dry depending on your humidity level. To speed that up you can use some M.Graham Walnut Alkyd Medium - although I can't attest to whether it is non-toxic. Some say it has metallic driers in it but I don't personally know. Some add egg yolk to their oil paint to speed it up. Some add a tiny touch of umber pigment to their colors (burnt or raw) which greatly decreases dry time. 
Q: Can I mix the pigment colors together? What is the best way to create color combos?
A: Yes, you can absolutely mix pigment colors together. We recommend you add the walnut oil to each pigment individually and then combine colors once the oil paint is made. Mixing dry pigments is possible, but it would require a mixer/blender to ensure the pigment colors are evenly distributed and this would create a lot of dust. It's also hard to know the correct ratio of dry pigments to use if you are hoping to achieve a particular custom color.
Q: What is the ratio of pigment to oil when mixing oil paint? 
A: Unfortunately every color has a completely different oil : pigment ratio because each color absorbs moisture differently and each pigment has a different molecular structure, size, density, drying time, etc. You simply pour the pigment onto the palette and add small amounts of oil at a time and mix until it makes a smooth, thick paste. You can use a glass dropper to add drops at a time. 
Q: How much paint does 1LB of the pigment make and how much walnut oil is needed for 1LB?
A: Predicting amounts needed is very hard because each color pigment behaves very differently. Some absorb alot of oil, some absorb a little oil, some make a lot of paint when mixed with a certain amount and some make much less paint when mixed with the same amount. One very very general estimate would be that 1 lb. of pigment might make around 4-5 small/medium tubes of oil paint. For walnut oil, it's the same predicament. But if you run out of walnut oil you can always go to a health food store and get organic, refined walnut oil (make sure there's no preservatives or any other ingredient in it).
Q: How much paint does the pigment yield?
A: Yes, every natural pigment is completely unique - each one has a different molecular structure, chemical composition, absorbs different amounts of oil or liquid, creates different yields of paint, covers a different amount of area, is opaque or transparent, etc. They are all very different so there's no way to give an exact answer to your question or mixing formula unfortunately. A general guideline though is that 3 oz. of pigment + one 4 oz. bottle of walnut oil will make about a medium sized tube of oil paint. For mixing you simply pour the powder on a hard surface and drizzle on the oil and start mixing with the palette knife. If you need more oil, you add more oil, until you get a thick paste.
Q: Even though I thoroughly mix the pigment with the walnut oil, the paint comes out grainy and has a very matte finish unlike store bought oil paints which are more luminous. Would you suggest using more oil or more solvent? Does the glass muller really make a difference? Let me know if there are any tips and tricks i'm missing!
A: We're sorry you're having trouble with the pigments. No, the muller isn't absolutely necessary - the pallet knife should work fine but if you continue to have issues I would give the muller a try as well. The only complaint we've gotten before on graininess was the titanium dioxide rutile which does take quite a bit of mixing to get smooth. Each color comes out either glossy or matte depending on it's chemical properties similar to conventional oil paint. These are natural pigments so they are all very different in properties, drying rate, oil absorption, texture, weight, etc. I would suggest using a touch more oil and really mash it with the knife, swirl, scoop, mash again, etc. . The solvent should only be added after the paint is fully mixed with the oil. Also, if you want an overall glossy sheen to finished dry paintings, you can brush on a coat of our Natural Varnish to make it all glossy. Hope that helps.
Q: Can you mix pigment with just water?
A: Our children's natural earth paints can be mixed directly with water and then used as is, since they already contain a binder. But if you mix pure pigment with just water, when it dries it will powder off and not continue to adhere.
 It needs some sort of binder to adhere to a surface. Check our Resources section for lots of paint recipes. 
Q: When I put it in the tube it was quite thick. But when I squeezed some out to use it a couple of days later, what first came out was extremely thin. Can you tell me why it would have separated? Did I not mix it together forcefully enough?
A: It may have been because it wasn't mixed well enough, although some pigments tend to separate easier than others. Commercially tubed oil paints have a toxic additive mixed in which eliminates any separation of oil and pigment but it also detracts from the luminosity of the pure pigment and oil mix and adds toxins. All natural pigments have different chemical compositions, absorption rates, drying rates, particle size, etc. so they behave differently. For example mixed Burnt Umber will dry many times faster than titanium white. You can also try putting your paints in a tiny glass jar as well and put a dab of clove oil on the inside of the lid to prevent drying out. There's a blog post about this on our website.
Q: I am planning on ordering "The Complete Eco-friendly Artists Oil Paint Kit".  I was wondering whether it will be possible to replace one of the 10 colors namely "burnt umber" with either "mayan turquoise" or "emerald green" or mayan red". Please let me know.
A: Unfortunately we can't substitute colors in the Complete Oil Paint kit because of the large price difference in pigment colors.
Q: Why does the oil paint take so long to dry?
Walnut oil dries slow and can dry to the touch between 4-8 days depending on the humidity of your area, the type of pigment used and how thickly it was applied. You can speed the drying time greatly by adding M.Graham's Walnut Alkyd Medium however I cannot atest to if that product is non-toxic or not.
