17. "RE: Mystique of Lime Plaster"
In response to message #13
 
   Hi everybody!
I just discovered this discussion. It looks great to me!
I do decorative painting on the side and have been seriously researching everything I could on the topics of traditional painting techniques.
No matter how I look at it, even if I mix the acrylic glazes with natural pigments, it is not the same as a limewash, a stucco or a tempera. Leave alone a fresco!
After I attended a Fresco and stucco workshop in France last summer( guys, I am not a snob I am just french), I decided that I would just do that whenever I had a chance to paint. One problem though: I have not been able to locate a source of lime putty and marble powders.
I have been able to find powedered slaked lime after a lot of asking and finally ordering it from a hardware store. That allowed me to experiment with limewashes.
I know a mail order company in N.Y. who carries lime putty but the price is prohibitive, certainely not appropriate for stuccos. It is excellent for basic art material but lime putty and marble powders are more related to the building industry than the art business. Here on the east cost the building industry does not even know what lime putty is leave alone sell it.
Can some body help me out there, I would highly appreciate.
I leave in the Washingtonian area.
Myriam
