peer agreement (net): +1pigmented limewashes Explanation: http://www.mikewye.co.uk/chart.htm "Limewash is a very ancient paint made from limestone which has been crushed, burnt and slaked with water to make lime putty. The lime putty is matured for several months before being thinned with water to make limewash. Limewash is naturally white ...It is coloured with pigments. " http://www.spirality.it/coloritura-a-calce.html Coloritura a calce "La pittura a calce è probabilmente la più antica forma di tinteggiatura di superfici architettoniche. E' una dispersione molto diluita di calce in acqua (latte di calce). Pigmenti minerali e terre possono venire aggiunti al latte di calce ottenendo una vasta gamma di coloriture." |
