What is the best kind of paint to use on rice paper?
I want to buy plain, rice paper lanterns for $5. I'm wondering what the best kind of paint to use to color them that won't fade away or ruin the lantern. Which would be the better deal: plain and paint for $5 or buy colored for $9 - $19.
If your question is whether to buy plain rice paper and paint it yourself, or that which already has a pigmented design on it, I would go for the latter. I have covered lamp shades with hand-made rice or other decorative papers and found them to be more colorfast than painting them. Rice paper requires a light hand and can be tricky to paint, unless using japanese sumi-e style and materials.
