Using Milk Paint

Concept

About

Milk paint is a versatile, eco-friendly painting medium that has been used for centuries. It is made from natural ingredients such as milk protein, lime, clay, and earth pigments, making it non-toxic and suitable for various surfaces like wood and plaster. The paint comes in a powdered form, which is mixed with water to create the desired consistency. This flexibility allows it to be used as a stain or a full-bodied paint, depending on the water ratio. Milk paint is renowned for its ability to create a vintage, chippy look, making it ideal for distressed finishes on furniture and walls. It adheres well to raw wood and can produce a durable, long-lasting finish. The paint's natural ingredients give it a unique, authentic appearance that is often sought after in restoration and upcycling projects. Additionally, milk paint is easy to mix and apply, requiring minimal preparation and no special brushes.
