Placrylic Paints
After studying thousands of plants, painter, chemist, and placrylic inventor, hana artist created 200+ paintings to test and formulate seven sustainable plant pigments that, when combined with her patented plant gel formulation, produce seven natural yet vibrant colours

Placrylic™ is a patented sustainable eco plant paint that, like behaves like traditional oil paint in that artists can work in layers. However, unlike oil paint, which typically requires titanium white paint and has a negative impact on ocean chemistry when washed down the drain, placrylic is 100% titanium free, marine friendly, and safe for use by artists and designers
The Placrylic Gel medium is 100% plants in a gel emulsion. Fluid from several plants are extracted and worked into a gel emulsion, ready for mixing with placrylic plant pigments

Eco Yellow Pigment is derived from a combination of edible hardy plants with high curcumin content, and it only takes a small amount of the yellow pigment to generate vibrant yellow hues
-
Eco Green Pigment is made from a combination of marine plants which are incredibly tough and can grow in the most severe climates, making it a very sustainable alternative; when eco green is combined with placrylic gel medium, you get a placrylic green that falls between viridian green and racing green. Because it is a natural colour, when you work with it, you get a genuine green.

Eco Brown Pigment is made from a combination of edible brown root plants that have been thoroughly dried and turned into a pigment powder form, which is combined with placrylic gel medium to make eco brown placrylic paint
-
Eco White Pigment is created by combining pigment powder from several edible plants with placrylic gel medium. The white paint is transparent and excellent for blending. To achieve opaque white, combine pigment and gel in a 1:1 ratio.
-
Eco Black Pigment is made from coconut shells that have been thoroughly dried and turned into a pigment powder form, which is then combined with placrylic gel medium to make eco black placrylic paint
