General: Natural Paint advice?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on Natural Paint. I am going to try to make my own and was wondering if anyone has any idea what types could be used on already painted drywall ceilings and walls? I would like to go with something oil based, but am not sure if it is possible. I do not use milk (vegan) so milk paints are out. In the "Natural Paint Book" there is a recipe for oil based wall glaze, but I am not sure if this would work on the drywall? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
    Adam.

    You can make a paint with hydraulic lime that is tougher than limewash and which will adhere to drywall (particularly if the surface is primed first with some dilute PVA - which may not tick the 'natural' box!). Making oil-bound paints is trickier than water-based, as it's difficult to disperse the pigment evenly through the paint without using more specialist tools than a stick.
