craftgrrl | Osama Poster Colours (Reply)

Hi everyone! I was just at a garage sale and I picked up a set of Osama Poster Colors. It is thick and looks like it may be oil based....? It actually looks like the ink used by Persian calligraphers.

Anyway, I was wondering if it is supposed to be watered down, or have linseed oil added, or used as is? And do people paint with it...? I'm not sure what to do with it, just took it because she had 20 jars of acrylic I was buying anyway plus a leather portfolio case (all of it for only $34!!)

Fire me some ideas, or examples of works done with this stuff. Unfortunately the blue is extremely dry. If I touch it I get blue on my fingers still though, is it possible to reconstitute it?

Thanks!
