I just bought a home and am wanting to use natural paints for some of the walls especially in my newborn daughter's room. I grabbed a copy of The Natural Paint Decorator book you recommend which is great. I'm curious what method you might recommend for a newbie and the quantity I would need to make for say a room 12X12? The pigments especially since it appears you don't need large amounts? Any help would be awesome!Jen Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555587081889077886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536318271780948141.post-83302918957708241572016-06-07T22:37:15.687-04:002016-06-07T22:37:15.687-04:00depends which paint, and in some cases depends if ...depends which paint, and in some cases depends if you seal it. Egg white paint, for example, is not washable/scrubbable at all. Milk paint is washable, and if sealed with 1 coat of hardening oil, can be made scrubbable.Sigi Kokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416038446988725892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536318271780948141.post-67748012019102991882016-06-07T15:59:33.815-04:002016-06-07T15:59:33.815-04:00how long does the paint last on the wall and is it...how long does the paint last on the wall and is it washable/scrubable?
