Handmade Paints + Inks

Artist-Made Paints for Artists Who Color Outside the Lines

Hey color lovers! Welcome to the world of Push/Pull - where they're turning recycled bottle caps into tiny vessels of pure pigment magic. Made by artists, for artists, in the heart of Seattle's indie art scene.

What Makes Push/Pull Different?

Every single paint pan, crayon, and ink block is crafted by hand using:

  • Pure artist pigments (because your art deserves the real deal)
  • Local Pacific Northwest honey (for smooth flow and natural preservation)
  • Essential oils (making your art practice smell as good as it looks)
  • Gum arabic or beeswax (for that perfect texture)

Sustainable Art Supplies with Attitude

We're all about keeping it real - and keeping it out of landfills. Each paint pan finds its home in a recycled bottle cap, transformed from trash to treasure. Our packaging? Think handmade meets punk rock zine aesthetic. It's not pretty-pretty, it's pretty amazing.

The Push/Pull Collection Includes:

  • Watercolor Pans: Intense, honey-based colors that reactivate like a dream
  • Gouache Sets: Velvety matte goodness for bold, opaque coverage
  • Artist Crayons: Smooth, pigment-rich marks with serious staying power made with beeswax and pigment. Nothing unnecessary.
  • Artist Ink Blocks:  solid to liquid color that packs a serious punch

Made by Artists Who Get It

We know what it's like to hunt for that perfect pigment load, that ideal consistency, that just-right flow. So we made it ourselves. Each batch is tested in their studio before it heads to yours.

Why Artists Love Push/Pull:

  • Handcrafted in small batches for quality control
  • Professional-grade pigments for true color intensity

Care & Use:

Store your Push/Pull materials at room temperature. Each pan of paint can be reactivated with a drop of water. The more you use them, the more they'll love you back. Because your paints are all natural ingredients, don't store them in plastic bags. They need to breathe.
