  1. Milk paint Pigments – The Natural Way To Go Following the industrial revolution decorative color pigments from atypical sources, like botanical substances, animal waste, mollusks and insects, where yielded and traded over long distance. Pigments made from the female form of the "Cochineal", an insect inhabitant to Central & South America, are still employed nowadays in food, dye, plastics, body paint and fabric. These pigments were employed by Peruvians since prior to the eighth century and they were too employed by the Catholic Church for its cardinal vestments. Pigments based on clays and minerals often bore the name of the region or city where they were excavated. Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna came from Sienna Italy; while Burnt Umber and Raw Umber are from Umbria. Pigments powders can be blended with and employed to concrete, color stucco, resins, plaster, epoxies and wood putties, employed in milk paint as a binder or blended with other pigments for paint to transform the color or put in intense color. Master painters of the regeneration era made their own materials and tools, including paints. Master painters took on learners to perform much of the job of preparing substances, making tools, and blending pigments. In exchange of their efforts, the learners learned the methods of painting from the masters. Several premature Renaissance artists employed gold leaf as a backdrop to their gesso treated paint boards; a layer of clay followed and eventually the gold leaf was executed, employed only to improve a mystic halo effect over a Madonna, or a fire. Keep in mind that this procedure wasn’t just time taking, gold was very costly and hence employed very rare. Today we’ve all of the same pigments for coatings dating back to the prehistoric Egypt and more but diverse synthetics and chemicals have been incorporated to the listing. The fashion, though, is towards the more natural milk paint kind items. We now add in most of these methods in the same manner that they were employed in the earlier days but we’ve incorporated chemicals that have an effect on the greening of our earth in an unconstructive manner. Fortunately, things are

Nowadays we notice a radical transformation in our surrounding and the way we view it. Natural pigments are employed more frequently as we came to know how to recognize the worth of safeguarding our natural supplies. The utilization of milk paint, that employs organic pigments, looks to be the best way to go. For more information visit: wcmfgr.com
