Therefore this media is perfect for artists that care about how their lives have an impact on the lives of animals. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hahnemuehle.com\/en\/traditional-fineart\/hahnemuehle-artist-papers\/bamboo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4426 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.hahnemuehle.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/06\/Bamboo-Rolle_Bamboo-roll-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Bamboo roll\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a> Leigh Sanders, the creator of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/theartyvegan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;The Arty Vegan&#8217; Facebook group<\/a> explains more about veganism and traditonal art: &#8220;Veganism is defined by Wikipedia as &#8216;the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals&#8217;. They go on to say, &#8216;The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet, but who extend the vegan philosophy into other areas of their lives and oppose the use of animals or animal products for any purpose&#8217;. Vegans care deeply about the environment and the lives of other sentient beings. Transitioning to veganism starts with looking at what you eat, giving up all foods that contain meat, eggs, dairy products, honey, etc\u2026 Anything and everything that was once alive is no longer a foodstuff. A person with an ethical vegan mindset will then also start questioning the impact their day-to-day lives have. The clothes they wear (leather, fur, silk, etc), the cleaning products and toiletries they use (many are tested on animals), cosmetics (many contain animal-by products) and so forth. As an artists, we want to use art products that are in sync with our vegan principles. For example; \u2022<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Watercolour papers that are not sized using gelatin<\/li>\n<li>Indian ink that doesn\u00b4t contain a shellac binder<\/li>\n<li>Sepia ink that isn\u00b4t made from squid and cuttlefish ink<\/li>\n<li>A full range of black pigments that are not made from charred animal bones, as in bone charcoal<\/li>\n<li>Red paint pigments that are not made from ground up cochineal beetles<\/li>\n<li>watercolour paints that don\u00b4t contain ox gall<\/li>\n<li>Artists&#8217; pencils that don\u00b4t contain beeswax<\/li>\n<li>canvases that haven\u00b4t been sized with rabbit-skin glue<\/li>\n<li>natural Gesso that doesn\u00b4t contain gelatin<\/li>\n<li>paintbrushes that are not made from animal hair like sable, squirrel, mongoose, horse and pig hair, to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To a person that cares deeply how their lives affect the lives of animals, this information is disconcerting and deeply unsettling. Our art is an extension of who we are, and needs to therefore reflect our ethics. How can we in good conscience paint a masterpiece knowing the material we use indirectly caused the death of animals and insects? We can&#8217;t. We need vegan art material, quality art material at an affordable price so that we can create and express ourselves freely.&#8217; You can read more from Leigh Sanders on the following blog <a title=\"Leigh Sanders Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.makeconsciouschoices.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makeconsciouschoices.blogspot.com<\/a>.
