Question:

How to have a paint fight?

For my birthday I'm planing to have a paint fight and there's only going to be at least 4-7 people there. But I'm wondering how I should do this. How we should dress? What colors? What paint? What type of paint should I use? I've seen dry paint but I want wet paint. I just want to know what type of paint I should use. Thank you!!

Answer:

tempura paints-will wash out of clothes normal paint- wear rubbish or old clothes you don't wear anymore, just in case the paint wont come off fabric paint- for the 2nd, 3rd and fourth idea :-) to make things interesting: 1) blow up a balloon (relatively small) 2) put the paint inside 3) fill it as much as you can ( the heavier, the better splash it will make) wear white: 1) once you have finished 2) take off the white item of clothing 3) leave it to dry 4) there you have a memory of the birthday and a cool clothing item ! wall paint: 1) get a giant sheet (bed sheet) 2) pin it to the wall with nails or drawing pins 3) get a paintbrush 4) splat the paint all over the wall and whatever you want to paint on it floor paint: 1) sheet on the floor 2) grab a tray or plate 3) put paint in each one 4)use your hands and feet, make a trail, make a picture with hand prints !
Buy tempura paints. They are relatively inexpensive and are water soluble - washes out of clothing for the most part. Using primary and secondary colors will make things interesting enough - red, yellow, blue, green, orange, violet. Buying acrylic means that you'll have to make decisions about which blue, red, yellow, etc. (Ultramarine vs. Manganese Blue or Cadmium Red light or Alizarin Crimson and so on). The tempera (it's not real tempera paint that is made with egg yolks, powdered pigment - dangerous - and a binder of linseed oil or gun arabic). The stuff that comes in large plastic containers is what you want. If there are things that you don't want to be painted, cover them with plastic drop cloths. Tell people to wear white, black, or gray clothes. Different colors will have different effects in each. Devise a simple means of extracting the colors from the containers to keep the colors from all mixing together and creating a brown-gray mush. Keep colors discrete.
