i've begun to paint my yoga studio, after a couple weeks of experimenting with different kinds of natural paints. i settled on the simplest, really: milk curds and pigment. it has a nice satin sheen when dry and goes on smoothly. you have to work fast, however, because it dries enough that you can't work it any more after just a minute. i like the way it's slightly translucent and how it adheres differently to different parts of the wall. from a distance it takes on the feeling of a plastered wall. it has luminence, a glowing quality, which is perfect for a yoga studio. i was hesitant to paint the wall such a dark color, but now seeing it on the wall, i'm very happy.
