- Several colors of ink or paint are sprinkled onto the surface of the size.
They float on the surface because they are lighter than the thickened water.
- Thin the paints to the consistency of whole milk in a paper cup.
- With an eye-dropper, lay the paint on the surface of the "size" as gently
as possible. The drop should spread out to a circle 2 to 3 inches in size.
- As the paint spreads out on the surface some may sink to the bottom
- its OK as long as most of it stays on the surface.
- If too much seems to be sinking, thin the paint a bit more.
- If the drop spreads out too far, thicken the paint. Keep adding paint to
the surface until they seem intense.
- As you add new colors, the ones added previously will intensify as they
are pushed together.
- You can add new colors next to, or on top of the ones already there. The
colors don't mix, but rather stay separate.
- You can remove the paint and start over by laying newspaper on the surface
to pick up all the paint from the surface.
