How do I mix milk paint?

Both Real Milk Paint and Sweet Pickings come as a powder that you mix yourself with water, in the ratio 1 part powder to 1 part water:

Pour the water into a jar and add the powder
Stir or shake thoroughly until smooth
Let it stand for a few minutes and stir again
Thin with a little water if you want a wash or a thinner first coat

Mix only as much as you will use, as mixed milk paint keeps for a limited time. If the paint foams, you can add Real Milk Paint anti-foam, which also makes pigments that tend to float on the water easier to mix.
