It's finally done! This video has by far taken me the longest to date to research, film, and edit for your viewing pleasure, so I very much hope that it is helpful and well received.

Today we are going to be talking about vegan watercolor brands of paint along with a small discussion on sustainability in conjuncture with the "vegan" label. This does have a lengthy introduction/discussion, so if you simply want your list of watercolors, skip ahead to 8:55 or see the list below.

If you'd like to hear about my personal background and stance on the importance of sustainability and humane treatment of animals rather that just pure veganism, I'd love for you to stick around! Also be sure to watch to the end for a Cricket cameo and an exciting announcement :)

Brands that are NOT vegan include: M. Graham (although their company is focused on eco-friendly practices), Mission Gold, Sennelier, Jackson's, White Nights, Schmincke Horadam, Winsor & Newton, and possibly Daler-Rowney Artists & Aquafine (unconfirmed but suspected that they contain oxgall per some vague information on their website).

Brands that I could not confirm one way or another include: Sakura Koi, Turner Artists, and Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle
