La Sienne naturelle (= natural Sienna) is of very old use. Before, the Sienna earth came from Italy, near the city of Sienna. It is also found in the Ardennes, Cyprus, Germany, England, Mexico, southern China and India. Since 2017, our Sienna earth is not the same that it used to be before. For any work continuity prior to this date, please contact us.
This pigment is 100% natural.

Lime water is the water used to extinguish quicklime. It is therefore still lime-laden but no longer has the white color that inevitably fades the dye. Its transparency makes it possible to create very bright tones without blocking the support.

Alum salt allows to fix the colour, waiting for the dry of the coating or the limewash paint. Plan to put 1 kg of alum salt for 10 kg of lime.
Warning : it does not allow the anchor of the limewash paint on a closed support.

This liquid acrylic binder with water is used to fix the pigments on a support. It is flexible and makes the support washable while keeping some porosity. It is also used as a replacement for a white paint, and makes it possible to obtain the hue of the powdered pigments, which is not the case with a white paint.
