Making the colour into paste.

In making the colour into paste you would need the following;

  glue

  water

  a bowl

  a brush

  a spatula

In addition to these items you would also need a canvas cut into smaller square pieces on which you are going to test your paint or paste on.

Making the powdered pigments into paste is quite a simple task. First you pour the powder in a bowl then after you add a sufficient amount of glue, then you pour in some water mix with an electric mixer to get a smooth paste and in a few minutes your paste or paint is ready to be tested on the canvas. You can either use the brush or the spatula to spread the paint on the canvas.
