Grinding pigments
You need:
- 3 Small jars with
lids
- White paint
- Water
- 2 Funnels
- Glass beads
- Weighing scales
- Teaspoon
- Dowelling rod
- Timer
- 4 Paintbrushes.
|
What to do:
- Weigh 70g of glass beads into each
jar.
- Pour the beads through a funnel into
each jar.
- Pour just enough white paint into the
bottles to cover the beads.
- Add a level teaspoon of the pigment through
a clean funnel in each jar.
- Using a dowelling rod, mix the pigment
into the white paint for about 30 seconds.
- Dip a dry paint brush into one of the
jars and smoothly and evenly
paint a strip on your paper.
- Put the lid on the bottle and shake it
as hard as you can (like a cocktail shaker!) for 10 seconds.
Let everyone in your group do this.
- Dip a clean dry brush again and smoothly
and evenly paint a strip next to the first one on your paper,
so the strips are just touching (without them mixing together).
- Repeat the shaking
and painting for each jar - but everyone in the group counts to
15 seconds when shaking the second jar and to 20 seconds when
shaking the third jar.

You
should now have four strips of paint on your paper. |
