Whitewash Paint Misunderstood!

There is great misunderstanding about the appearance of whitewash. While it is a common belief that whitewash is transparent, the opposite is true.

Authentic whitewash is a heavy bodied opaque paint. The heaviness of it allows brush marks to remain in the finish. The result is a desired, simple artistic effect. Examples include swirls, waves, squiggles, etc.

Our whitewash paint is as good as it gets. Originally formulated for restoration projects for some of the best known museums and period villages in the country.

Smooth or Gritty

Our whitewash paint is available in two formulations, smooth and gritty. Gritty whitewash paint has very tiny particles blended within it to simulate authentic whitewash the way it was long ago. The size of the grit is very very small. It is smaller than a grain of salt! To see it you have to get very close to the surface. The dried gritty whitewash is indeed authentic in appearance. The grit also adds a bit of texture to the dried paint.

If you prefer, we also have whitewash paint in a smooth formulation - no grit.
