interesting.... I've only painted on fondant with thinned gel pate mixed with vodka or airbrush colors, but never powder or dusts. I'll have to try that!
I was just asking about this on another thread - one about how diluted black gel turns blue. Someone suggested that the OP use black powdered color and I was asking if you could use the powder to paint with. Glad to know you can. Now can somebody tell me who sells it? Is it something you can come by fairly easily?
Thanks so much! I was wondering about airbrush colors. Do you use them straight from the bottle?

I've painted with lots of different things.
Powders mixed with vodka dry the fastest. The wilton petal dusts work fine for this.
Gel color mixed with vodka is the cheapest. It will also dry fairly quickly. If you can wait an hour or two, you're good to go.
Airbrush colors work fine, straight from the bottle. They take as long to dry as gel color/vodka does.
The white icing color can be mixed with gel colors and used for paint if you want an opaque look (think acrylic paints in a bottle) but not with vodka, it turns chunky then. It takes a long time to dry.
For black, americolor super black painted on undiluted works the best. Doesn't fade or turn colors, and dries in about an hour.
The luster dusts from the cake decorating shop are the most expensive way to make paint. I only use those if nothing else is going to give the look I want.
Thanks for all these wonderful tips, you guys!
