Mudroom Addition Pt 3: Lime Plaster Pigment

Now that I've got the scratch coat of repair lime plaster on the addition, I'm returning the earth pigmenting to its former glory. This is a fun process and not as hard as you might think considering how good it looks. Fresco is a method of applying earth pigments to still wet lime plaster. It gives a deeper color than pigmented limewash, and is a natural way to color your lime plastered house. In this video, I walk you through the process.

Where did you order the pigments? Is the company fresco?

@HardcoreSustainable Жыл бұрын

I've ordered from earthpigments.com, but there are other companies.

@@HardcoreSustainable ok me too. The price seems extreme, but watching how you used it makes it much more economical. Thanks for the quick response

@@michaellowe2305 It really does depend on which pigment and how you plan to use it. The ochers are really not that expensive considering how far they go. Think about oil paints, which are pretty much just earth pigments, linseed oil, and turpentine. A tube of oil paint costs an arm and a leg, but those ingredients cost almost nothing. A gallon of pigmented latex paint these days will easily cost you over $30. A kilo of earth pigment will cover a huge area of wall if you are using it for a fresco. It might go a long way towards covering a whole house actually.
