[nycpd75]

@bubbligirl i wanna know that too ! and also what kinda paint ?:S

[awaldoster]

@nycpd75

if im correct, i think you're able to use many forms of paint from ink to regular tempera paint. it is the substance in the water that makes the paint float and a stick of some sort to create the movement and tracking of the paint. The paper is lightly sponged all over with alum so when u place the paper on the water the paint sticks you also blend carrageenan with water which im not quite sure where to find this substance, but it is what makes the water more dense then the paint.

@awaldoster carrageenan Horse hoof extract-bet if he knew this he would stop using the poor animals that paid for this-they do not believe in harming animals for use like this. just saying. but ya neat technique

[cerenrockers]

what type of paint do you use

[Speedow]

@cerenrockers it's an acrylic colour. it floats on water and sticks to nearly everything.

You could also instead of putting a sheet of paper in the water use a cup, or a plate, or even a t-shirt (well, I think it'd leach out after a while, but it still looks awesome)
