Why choose to make your own paint? Because natural paints are not only beautiful when applied, but they also develop a patina and remain attractive over time. And since they're easy to prepare and require only a few common, inexpensive ingredients, painting at home is once again a joy to share.
Added to this creative pleasure is a health issue. The ambient air in our living spaces is too often polluted by toxic VOCs (volatile organic compounds), present in many synthetic paints. Designing a decor that poses no risk to health or the environment is therefore a current concern, addressed by the simple recipes offered in this book.
Based on ancient techniques specialized by the author, the paints are prepared from natural, ecological and economical products: eggs, beer or even potato starch... depending on inspiration, they can then be implemented with decorative effects, from the simplest to the most elaborate. With a little practice, the reader will be able to create their own variations, and play with materials, colors and textures.
