Weather Resistant Homemade Paint

5 parts cottage cheese or dry curd cheese

(Dry curd cheese is cottage cheese without cream or flavoring added. You can 
make a similar cheese by putting cottage cheese into cheesecloth and hanging it 
until it stops draining. Use cottage cheese if you’re in a hurry.)

1 part hydrated lime or slacked lime

Mix hydrated lime with water to make a paste. Add to cottage cheese and stir in 
well. Leave for few hours - the cheese lump will dissolve completely. Select 
some powder pigments and add to solution (Pigment powder must be lime proof)--
You can use homegrown dye as paint pigment. Add more water if too thick; 
powdered skim milk if too thin. Strain if you want a fine paint (old nylon 
stocking works well).
