What is it that I need to paint on gumpaste flowers? I have the dust stuff and read something about lemon juice or vodka and mix that in? I am just confused as to what I need to do to paint on the flowers. So any tips on how to liven up my hydrangeas?

Thanks,

Mandy

I use vodka. It works just right and dries pretty fast. Also, go to Google images and get pics of hydrangeas. It will really help with shading and coloring. Hope this helps.

Dusts can also be used dry. many flowers take to the soft spread of color. Usint "paint" will intensify the color.
