How to thicken School Tempera Paint
with school paints


Here is a quick recipe to thicken a water based school tempera poster paint.  This takes about 10 minutes to cook and has a great thick smooth texture that is ideal for finger painting.  Depending on the amount of paint you need - increase or decrease the quantities of this recipe.

 What You Need:

4 x spoons of Corn-starch, 3 cups water, small sealable containers.

Recipe for thickening Temper Poster Paint:

1. Add 4 x level teaspoons of corn-starch with 3 x cups of water in a pot, mixing until all combined.

 2. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring it until the corn-starch dissolves and is smooth and thick.

3. Allow the mixture to cool.

4. Add the thickener to your tempera in a slow pour, stirring the paint until you get the viscosity desired. Don't add too much at once, as you will have to add a much greater quantity of paint to get it back to a thinner consistency. If you add far too much, it is may be more economical to discard the paint and start again.

5. You can keep the remaining thickener in a sealed jar. Stir it well before using it again.  If paint is too thick, add small amounts of water and mix thoroughly, until you get the desired consistency.

    Hi! I've been cooking this for nearly 1 hour and it's still not thick. Unsure if it is due to the fact that I doubled the recipe, but the volume has lessened (evaporation I think), but it's not thick (like a corn starch gravy).
    Thanks!

      Hi Jules,
      It could be the doubled recipe. It normally works quite easily. But we are also assuming here that the brand of paint you’re a trying to thicken does not stray from the normal type of raw materials.
      Thanks

Face Painting Tips on using brushes and sponges

It is hard to make mistakes in face painting. It’s all about having fun! You will need a jar of water, clean sponge or brush and paper towels. For more complex designs try doing sketch first or make a stencil out of plastic or card. Try to paint thinly as the skin is a flexible surface, thick and heavy coatings may crack. Place an old towel or paper towels around the shoulders. Have your model relax their face - no squinting. HAVE FUN! Using Face Paint Colours: If you do not have all the colours you need, try mixing the colours together to make a new colour. Mix on the back of your hand or in a saucer. See the mix and match colour guide below. Painting Details: Narrow thin brush Paint your details with a thinner brush. Make sure you wash your brush between colours or have a brush for each colour. Paint carefully around eyes and never go too close with your brush. Try cotton buds/swabs for easy control. Using Sponges: for backgrounds. Sponge...
