Art supplies free from animal ingredients: Graphite is a mineral. What surrounds it may not always be animal-free, but by itself, it is. Derwent is usually a good choice for animal-free pencils. Charcoal—not bone charcoal—comes from plants. Conte Crayon is made from natural pigments (iron oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide), clay (kaolin) and a plant-based binder (cellulose ether). Walnut ink, made from walnuts of course, can be used in place of sepia ink and gives a tone from sepia to rich brown depending on how much water is mixed in with it. Damar Varnish is made entirely from a plant source. Fixative sprays by Krylon (many of them, at least) do not contain animal ingredients. Yupo paper is made from 100% polypropylene and is suitable for all watercolour techniques. It’s good for drawing and fixatives stick to it as well. Raw fabrics such as unsized organic hemp, bamboo, linen or cotton can all be used for supports and contain no animal products. Stretch the fabric on stretcher bars and apply Golden’s Absorbent Ground instead of gesso. Golden’s Absorbent Ground is 100% polymer and absorbent for watercolours.

This could be total pie in the sky! Does anyone know of any art camps as in summer art camps for kids that use vegan art supplies? Perhaps I'm dreaming, but I'm hoping...

Maybe contact https://www.facebook. https://www.fac https://www.facebook.com/22964827726ebook.com/148536115196076 com/130073260347524 Thrive Art School or Neo Art School. Seattle Art Museum has a camp that could have some potential to use vegan supplies. There was a post earlier where I shared vegan gauche, charcoal and more that you could pass on to them
