Hello! I wanted to know if there is a something I can use to turn my powders into liquid paint, other than vodka. I have some extracts here and wondered would that work? I want to paint, but want to use something other than vodka!
Is there a reason you don't want to use alcohol (as in vodka)? Lemon extract has the highest percentage of alcohol.. even higher than everclear. I don't do a lot of drinking, so I buy nips for painting. One will last me a LONG time. I agree with Alana about lemon extract leaving a smell and taste. Lemon flavor is fine if you have a cake that has lemon in it.. not so much if it's a chocolate cake or something. I can understand I guess if it's religious.. but I guess I really don't if the extracts have more alcohol than most liquors.
Yes, it's a conviction with my spiritual life to go buy alcohol. It may sound stupid, but I feel funny going in a liquor store to get vodka! I'm going to suck it up and get over it because I can't see having lemon intertwined with something like red velvet! yuck! My other problem is knowing how much to get and how much to use at any given time. Is it a teaspoon, a drop, etc? So basically It's my personal issue! Silly huh?! So are you guys suggesting that vodka is not the best? If not what is? Thanks for understanding, at least I hope you do!
Sweetneice: I understand your convictions! It took me some time to get over walking into a liquor store to buy the nip sized bottle myself. However, after someone commented on the "super lemony" taste to the fondant (believe me, it was NOT a glowing comment) I switched from lemon extract to vodka. That was even after trying the clear vanilla and finding that it left a taste as well. If it is for show, no biggie, but if it is for eating, the cakes will carry the flavor you have used to paint. A very little (1/2 teaspoon or less will paint a lot of surface!) In the end, it is economical as well as a wiser choice. A Liquor Outlet type store is a little more "user friendly" since they are a Party Supply Store as well. If you have one near you, it makes it a little easier to walk into. : )
Thanks WIN! I never thought about going to a party outlet store! DUH! GREAT advice and put me at ease about it! Will they be able to taste the vodka pretty well or no? BTW, I was born and raised in Louisville KY!
I've used vodka and have had no problems with the taste issue..You cannot taste it, i dont think it even has a taste, but it does dry quick..If you go into your liquor store they usually have small bottles in the front or behind the register, i've been told EVERCLEAR is the best since it is the highest proof. HTH
HI all
I'm a cookie maker but happened on this forum and it has peaked my interest. So from what I'm understanding, its the powder food colors that you mix with 1/2 tsp of vodka? Then paint on the fondant? I have mmf on my cookies so since I'm a tolepainter, maybe I'll paint a few designs on my cookies. So hopefully, I'm understanding all of you correctly.
My issue with the extracts is the amount of flavr you can add depending on the amount of painting you have to do..If is just touches is fine but if you are doing a whole painted cake it can be a problem..Yet I know for a fact oil extract have a a better coverage(thats what Nicolas Lodge uses) leaving no streaks ..Some luster powders tend to leave lots of streaks.. At the end of the day the the vodka doesn't leave any flavor and the alcohol evaporates.. So that is what I use...
And that is only my opinion..
And what I do is I sent my husband to the store to get it for me

You can also use it to dilute gel colors for painting. I use vodka. One nip of Absolute lasted me a LOOOOOONG time. I use it in my airbrush too to spray gold or silver dust.
I can understand the religious thing. I am not religious, but I can understand. I doubt anyone would be judging you for buying a nip to paint with. And if they do.. you don't need them in your life anyway. ((hugs))
If you needed to paint an intire cake using different colors, what kind of coloring would you use? I don't know if I am stating this correctly. I need to paint a landscape on a cake, but I really am not sure what is the rightstuff to use. I did one but I used wilton gel and vanilla. It was a little streaky, which ok because it gave it a little texture look. But something that you want smooth looking would be hard to do that way. And what kind of brushes would you use? I ended up picking little brisles off my cake.
a chef at school took a class with flower makeing class with collete peters i beleive. and she gave him the tip to use lemon oil to paint with, because she said she doesnt want it to evaporate, so what you paint will stay nice and shinny

This is one of the earliest works that Leighton produced after settling in London in 1859. The title was suggested by a visitor to the artist's studio, Mrs Ralph Benson, and evokes Felix Mendelssohn's famous Songs without words, created for the piano between 1829 and 1845. In the picture, Leighton attempts to convey sound, or music, through paint. Sound is evoked by the blackbird at the top of the picture, which is shown in full song, and by the two fountains. One is high in the wall, with water gushing from a carved lion's head into a tank behind the seated girl; the other pours from the same tank into a tall black amphora.
Leighton uses colour following musical princples of harmony and counterpoint. The mellow golden and brown of the marble, the young girl's hair and the figure on the left give the painting a tonal harmony. The proliferation of dark blue or black features - the girl's skirt, the amphora, the blackbird, the ceramic pot in the hand of the retreating figure, the patterns on the floor and tank - all act as a counterpoint to the more mellow, dominant tone of the picture. Further contrasts are created by the touches of red in the girl's lips, her underskirt, the button on her shirt, the shadow on the lower fountain and the tall pot to the left of the picture. The girl is seated at the centre of the design, lost in thought. She is clearly pre-pubescent and the model for this figure was in fact a man, John Hanson Walker, who also posed for Leighton's Duett (1862, Royal Collection, London). The tall figure on the left probably derives from a figure in Fire in the Borgo (1512, Vatican, Rome) by Raphael (1483-1520).
Normally, you would just call Invalidate() and let the system combine that with other Screen updates. If you're in a hurry you should call Refresh() but then you run the risk that it will be repainted several times consecutively because of other controls (especially the Parent) Invalidating.
The control scrolls OK but flickers far beyond any comfortable level. So I decided, instead of repainting the control, to call my custom DrawFrame() method directly after handling the MouseMove event. That produced a smooth scrolling with no flickering.
This is a work-around to provide separation between the built-in DDS file handler and this plugin. Note that Rick is working towards integrating this plugin into paint.net, which will remove the renaming issue.

Gently shake the bottle of non-UV gel nail polish for a few seconds to mix the polish ingredients. Carefully paint two coats of polish onto your dry nails. Allow the gel a few minutes to set between each coat.
If you want to give your cabinets an instant update, a new paint color is an easy and cost-effective weekend DIY option. To make the project go a little faster, you can get by without sanding the cabinets first. It just takes a little advance planning.
The better quality paint you can buy, the better your results will be. In the kitchen, you also want a hard-working paint that can really take the heat (and moisture) of your daily culinary endeavors. Look for formulas with high percentages of titanium dioxide pigment, instead of the cheaper calcium carbonate.
Available from most home stores in the UK including Amazon, tile transfers are similar to wall decals, although not always as easy to remove. The longer you leave them, the harder it is to remove them easily, although with elbow grease and water not impossible. Although it is something to bear in mind.
Now I LOVE the idea of using fabric to decorate walls. But is it really feasible? There is a range of different methods, this one points out that although attaching fabric is easier than painting, it is also more expensive. This method also uses screws, which is often a no-no when it comes to renting.

In less then 3-minutes you can have homemade finger paint for a fun activity with your little one. All you need is some Greek yogurt, a little rice baby cereal, a few jars of brightly colored baby purees and a few sheets of large construction paper (white paper helps the paint colors show up). My favorite purees to use (and the ones that produced the most vivid results) are from my favorite brand of store bought baby purees, Beech-Nut Baby Food. The purees that work the best are beets, pear & pomegranate puree, just butternut squash puree, just carrot puree, just green bean puree and just apple & blackberry puree. But chances are, that if you have another bright puree at home, that will work just as well.
