Whitewash During the English Reformation, churches and parishioners used it (whitewash) to obscure colorful murals and altarpieces that depicted saints in ways they now deemed impious. ( Over the years, as the paint wore thin, the faces began peeking through again.) This practice perhaps explains the origin of the phrase "to whitewash," which means to conceal unpleasant truths, usually political in nature. #dailydrawing #kassiastclair #whitewash #secretlivesofcolour @kassiastclair
