I am experimenting with food colours to figure out if it's possible to use to make coloured paint like red... It looks as if the shops are out of it and the red I see once in a while is not what I call red.

I bought poster paint what children use at school (toddlers, kindergarten age up to 11-12 years old but again no red).

The foid colour red is a liquid and I used acrylic titanium white. A kind of pink was the result. A few days ago I mixed it today I added blue to create a kind of purple. Not the modmst beautifulone but I use what is left.

To the bit of yellow I added some blue (green it is)

The silver was just adfing a bit of water.
As you can see the colour changes. I believe it's the food colour changing silver into pink.

Although most of the paint has been prepared days ago you csn still see many air bubbles even though I used a brûlee burner. Strangely enough I never saw any activity during my first pours.

The longer I wait the more pink it is. I will save this as a reminder. Let's see tomorrow what the result will be.

The turning table didn't really add something.

Materials: acrylic paint house brand Action - water - plastic cups (used before), used canvas.
The canvas is placed on plastic cups so I can easily wipe off too much paint. If it drips off the sides this paint will change the painting.

@wakeupkitty, your experimental art journey with food coloring is absolutely captivating! I love how you're fearlessly diving into color mixing, especially trying to achieve that elusive perfect red. The photos beautifully document your process, and it's fascinating to see how the colors morph over time.

The air bubbles are an interesting challenge; perhaps a different mixing technique could minimize them? Your dedication to finding the right red is inspiring! I'm eager to see what tomorrow's results reveal. What other color experiments do you have in mind? Thanks for sharing your creative process so openly. It's posts like these that make the Steemit community so vibrant. Keep experimenting, and keep us updated!

Thank you for your support and a great week.

I like experimentation, although you're way ahead of me. The paintings, if they dry, look fantastic. I hope that if you ever have a giant exhibition, I'd happily spend hours glued to each painting, looking at every detail. Your art is expressive, and it fits your personality perfectly; it's creative. You already have a personal style, a signature that I see growing. An identity. You still dedicate time to it; when you love what you do, it shows. It feels good.

About this one: it kind of fainted but the coloyr remains active somewhere. As soon as I added new psint it showed at the surface and started changing colours again.

What I did?
I scraped off the paint and now I have a canvas with bankground. 🤣
No idea what to fo with it yet. It stares at me.

I think about a new layer of Gesso or who knows I leave it this way and the background will be the painting.

P. S. As ling as there's no varnish/gloss on it I can reuse the canvases or change parts which I will if something irritates me.

I might make something my kid made 15 years ago 😁

Anger & Frustration... If it doesn't turn out the way you have in mind. 👇
