About

Our Mission

Art to Basic is about more than just creating eco-friendly, handmade watercolors; it's about fostering a global creative community that celebrates color, connection, and personal growth. Through our colors, we aim to empower others to express themselves, build resilience, and find joy in their artistic journey. This is a place for those who see art as a path to self-discovery, healing, and meaningful connection with others.

Our Vision

To create a world where creativity is the bridge that connects us all, offering inspiration, peace, and healing through the simple yet powerful act of making art. By using sustainable art tools, we aim to make a lasting impact on both our community and the environment, helping everyone who joins the Art to Basic family feel seen, supported, and inspired to express their unique voice.

Colors Inspired by Nature

Every day, we spend time close to nature. Here, we find inspiration to carefully craft handmade watercolors and gouache using traditional techniques. Every pan of paint is created with high-quality pigments, sustainable materials, and a deep love for artistry.

Our paints are more than tools; they’re little stories—beginning in our hands and continuing in yours. Each time you open a new pan of color, think of it like a bottle cast out to sea. We’ve started the journey, and now it’s in your hands to continue. What will you create with it? What emotions will you express, what colors will you blend, and how will you share your unique voice with the world?

We believe in the beauty of handmade, in celebrating the intentional, and in offering artists like you eco-friendly, high-pigment paints that spark creativity. When you receive one of our paints, you’re not just holding a product—you’re holding a piece of our story, the rhythm of mulling pigments, the charm of wrapping each tin, and the care we pour into every detail.

Thank you for being part of this shared journey—where nature, art, and the timeless craft of paintmaking meet.

With love, Art to Basic
