[Greenbuilding] paints

[Stephen Collette]

Bobbi,

I would think that the clay paints would work fine, espcially on  
masonite and I suspect canvas. Remember what they used to use 100-400  
years ago was more natural paints. There is a book as well on making  
your own paints, The Natural Paint Book by Edwards and Lawless. Lots  
of milk paints and even beer paint.

Farrow and Ball does have little sample bottles. That would be the  
way to go for you, for sure.
