Onion Skin Paint - Painting at Home

Onion Skin Paint - Painting at Home

Red Onion Skin, Yellow Onion Skin and White Onion Skin.  Just place the skins in a bowl with a little water and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave for 1 more minute.  Remove the skin from the bowl and paint.  In the bowls the White looks yellow.  The yellow looks orange and the red - red.

However, as you paint the red is the darkest orange-brown. The Yellow is a lighter orange-brown and the White is a very light yellow.  Very delicate.  

I was just experimenting/playing.  I'm sure you could find better recipes and tips on other websites.

This activity never gets old.  If you have the supplies at home I would make it a weekly project.

Coffee Painting - Painting at Home

Coffee Painting - Painting at Home

Have some fun painting with supplies commonly found at home.

I didn't have any instant coffee.  If you do, it is easier to use.  Just set up four or more cups/bowls.  Add a small amount of instant coffee to the first cup.  As you go onto the next just keep adding  more instant coffee.  Light to dark.
