Mineral painting

Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way mural was made using stereochromy technique

Mineral painting also known as Stereochromy is a mural painting technique that uses a water glass based paint.

The original technique was called Stereochromy where pigments were applied to plaster or stone and sealed with water glass to preserve and enhance the colors.[1][2] The name was first used about 1825 by Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs and Schlotthaurer,[3] but then improved in the 1880's by Adolf Wilhelm Keim and renamed as mineral painting[4][5] or Keim's process.
