vinegar paint finishes
What is vinegar paint? Vinegar paint is a traditional painting method using pigment, vinegar, and soap. It was used in the early nineteenth century and may have come to America via British Isles craftpeople who learned it from Swedish decorative painters.

Vinegar paint's pure pigment allows for brilliant color. Pattern and texture can be worked into the finish to produce both clarity and depth. It is best used on flat surfaces and allows for infinite variations. Below is a small sampling:
