Experiment with making traditional milk paint at home using skim milk powder, hydrated lime and mineral pigments!
The ratio for making dry mix milk paint is:
4 parts skim milk powder : 1 part lime : 1 part pigment
The recipe I use in this video is scaled down for testing in batches.
For each small cup of paint I use:
2 tsp skim milk powder
1/2 tsp lime
1/2 to 3/4 tsp mineral pigment
4 tsp of water, more or less to the desired thickness
I find skim milk powder at my local bulk food store.
My mineral pigment comes from the Sculpture Supply store in Toronto: [ Ссылка ]...
But you can also buy them online:

Powdered hydrated lime can be found in a number of places, marketed for a number of uses.
You can use whitewash lime:

Or mason's lime:

Or garden lime:

These are all essentially the same thing!
Feel free to ask any questions here. I'd love to see the colours you come up with. :)
