Best Answer

no paint does not float on water.

answ2. But if you mix an oil-based pigment with turpentine (for example) it will float on the surface of water.

This is the process by which you can produce marbled paper, such as is found in old books sometimes.

Don't use too many colours. And mix a little of each colour with turps separately. Sprinkle a few drops of each colour on the water surface, and stir the surface just a little before you draw the paper across the surface. A broad basin large enough to accommodate your paper is necessary.

Your art teacher may be able to help.
