Natural paint textures


Old window, originally uploaded by rudygiron.

Because the high levels of humidity around Antigua, people have to paint their walls often. Not every time walls get painted they use the same color and after so many years when the paint peels, you get the gorgeous texture where the different colors peek through. The Antigua Protection Agency recommends that people use lime-stone-based paints because they allow the walls to breath. The lime-stone-based paints have shine, similar to pearls, so that is how you get some incredible colors as light changes through the day.

    This photo, although very beautiful, would not have been half as interesting if you hadn’t told about the lime-stone-based paints. Cool!
