Milk paint, also called casein paint, is a traditional paint made from milk protein, lime and pigment. It comes as a powder that you mix with water, roughly equal parts, to the consistency you want. Only mix what you will use, since the paint keeps for a couple of days.
On bare wood it bonds well and gives a matt finish. The guide shows how to mix and paint.
