You've probably heard of milk paint. It's a much more sustainable type of paint than acrylic paints for indoor applications. It doesn't offgas, contains no petrochemicals, and is biodegradable, unlike acrylic paints, which contain plastics. You can buy milk paint premixed or in powder form, but in this video, I'll be making MILK PAINT straight from the cow. I go through the entire process using raw local milk as the base, and mixing in only slaked lime, and earth pigments. It's that simple!

Quark Recipe:
1 gallon skim milk at room temp
2 cups white vinegar

Milk Paint Recipe:
1-2 parts slaked lime (depending on how white and opaque you want the paint to be)
3 parts quark (milk solids)
Earth pigment powder to taste (mixed one to one with water). This is added in small amounts like 1 T at a time.
Write down your proportions so you can recreate the exact paint every batch.
