I also use their methyl cellulose to make glue, which is plant based. Methyl Cellulose was used for book making and is used for restoring old books. I also recently bought some tubes of their plant-based acrylics.


Anyway, back to making your own watercolors... below is a link to a demonstration on watercolors on YouTube from Natural Earth Paint. It sounds labor intensive and a little scary to make your own watercolors, paint in general, but it's not. Leah's demo is easy to follow, and she answers viewers questions.

Till next time, 

Peace and Love,

Dolores
