[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Maybe so called Black painting will be more common since we seen also examples of that in films and media lately, both of fantasy figures and some historical persons (like the Viking jarl Haakon in Vikings Valhalla who changed both sex and race). Best would perhaps to, at least when it concerns historical persons, find actors who have some similarity with the real historical person, phenotypically and maybe even ethnically. Whitewashing is originally also a form of painting, so it is another use of the word washing then for example in "washing clothes". [QUOTE] The first known use of the term is from 1591 in England. Whitewash is a cheap white paint or coating of chalked lime that was used to quickly give a uniform clean appearance to a wide variety of surfaces, such as the interior of a barn [/QUOTE]In my country we call it "vitkalkning" or "kalkning" (chalking). In the 1700s it was rather popular to cover for example older church paintings with lime. It was good that they chalked over the paintings instead of removing them, since they were preserved under the chalk and can today be restored. [/QB][/QUOTE]
