My Natural Paint Recipe (modified Jenny's version)
3 parts wet clay
3 parts river sand
6 cups flour paste
1 gallon water
I changed the ingredients of the recipe because I wanted to use the materials I had available to me. I use the same clay and sand that I used for the plaster.
For the flour paste the recipe follows:
-boil six (6) parts water, bring to a rolling boil
-add 1 part flour to 2 parts water, whisk until there are no lumps
-add the flour/water mixture to the boiled water and turn off stove
-should thicken to look like glue
-add borax to prevent rot, 1-2 Table spoons
