FLOUR PAINT KIT - for wood

Flour Paint, also known as “Swedish paint”, “Ochre paint” or “Wheat paint”, is a traditional paint made with flour, water, natural pigments, black soap, linseed oil and iron sulphate.

Flour Paint is recommended for rough spruce and pine. Tannin-rich woods, such as chestnut, oak, and some hard tropical woods, may show brown stains through the paint.

COLORATION:

We currently offer the kit in 5 differents colours (see below). The final colour will be darker than the color in powder form of the chosen pigment.
To lighten a pigment, you can use Titanium dioxide (the only synthetic pigment that can be used in flour paint). This pigment should be mixed with the natural pigment powder in the proportions specified in the recipe.

You can also create your own colour with pigments available on our site, but be mindful to only use natural mineral pigments.   

Here is an example of possible colours with pigments from Société des Ocres de France.
