Step 1: Stir and pour paint onto your palette
What's fantastic about KREUL Nature is that all the colours match with each other. They are all inspired by the beauty of nature, in which different plants blend harmoniously. KREUL Nature is a DIY paint on water basis with good coverage. We recommend stirring the paint with a wooden stick before you start painting.
Then pour the KREUL Nature paints in Snow Crystal, Loam, Hibiscus Flower, Eucalyptus, Pebble Stone and Slate onto a porcelain plate. Pour out just the paint you need, to ensure that any paint left in the jar is not contaminated. Another advantage of a porcelain plate palette: it is great for mixing colours with each other, e.g. for a lighter pink or a darker brown.
Step 2: Prime your painting surface and paint organic shapes
KREUL Nature goes brilliantly with natural materials like wood. To make sure the subtle colour shades are radiant, prime a wooden board in white with KREUL Nature Snow Crystal. Once this base colour has dried, load a soft, flat paintbrush with KREUL Nature Loam and paint a curved, roundish shape. Next to this, use KREUL Nature Hibiscus Flower to paint a shape like the letter C. It starts getting interesting when you add features in cooler colours as a counterpoint. Paint a semi-circle with KREUL Nature Eucalyptus and a circle with KREUL Nature Pebble Stone. Just soooo easy with the creamy consistency of the DIY paint.
Step 3: Add some small features and highlights
In Boho artwork, less is more. The painted shapes in the harmonized colours show to best effect if you leave lots of space between them. This way you get a stylish interplay between the white primed wooden surface and the harmoniously coordinated KREUL Nature colours. To finish off, paint just one leafy stem as an eyecatching feature. For this, use KREUL Nature slate and switch to a fine round paintbrush. All done! Have fun painting and decorating. Our tip: arrange your Boho artwork alongside natural materias or wooden objects or paint decorative objects in the same KREUL Nature colours and place these next to your picture.
Is KREUL Nature an acrylic paint?
No, it isn’t acrylic paint. KREUL Nature is a resource-saving DIY paint. Acrylic paints contain a mix of pure acrylate and water as a binding agent. The binding agent in KREUL Nature is based on potato starch, that is on vegetable basis. We have made the paint to be as resource-friendly as possible. It consists mainly of sustainable resources of natural origin. We explain how we class a paint formulation as sustainable here.
We have also prioritized sustainability for the paint jars and packaging. The glass consists of up to 27 % recycled glass and can be completely recycled, the screw top is made of 85 % recycled plastic, the label is made with 30 % recycled fibres. And it goes without saying that KREUL Nature is made in a fair and safe process in Germany.
