Mix 1/4 cup of methyl cellulose with 2 quarts of water for the best marbling consistency. These crosslinks are formed when the double bonds in the organic fatty acids open up and reconnect with adjacent molecules. Artists’ oil paints contain inorganic pigments mixed into an organic linseed oil binder.
