It is formed by mixing chalk powder with an animal glue binder and natural pigments to produce a soft matt finish. There are various regional names, but was sometime called “Paris White”. Often other binders were included to give added durability; such as milk and, latterly, casein, (a by-product of cheese-making) or linseed oil. This gave a “washable distemper”.’
