These paintings were all done using ONLY homemade paints from plant parts – petals, roots, berries. You can use this paint to do fine art. It will fade some with time, especially if you put it in direct sunlight but the paints offer a palette you just can’t find with commercial paints. Enjoy – and have fun!
