Wall Mural Earth Paint

(Note: the Children's Earth Paint is also a great mural paint)

Ingredients: earth pigment, flour paste (or white glue), and water 

Process:

1. Mix 1 - 2 parts water with 1 part glue or flour paste (recipe below). 
2. Add pigments until desired color is achieved, not exceeding a ratio of 20% by volume. 
3. Note - wet paint is much darker than when it's dry on the wall.

Wheat paste recipe:  wheat, rice, or rye flour work well. Use about 1 part flour to 6 parts water. Mix flour with a small amount of water to make a smooth paste. Then add hot water to make a thin consistency. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to an oatmeal-type consistency. Use immediately or refrigerate to preserve it for a few days.
