SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on techniques for mixing multiple colors of paint without them blending into new colors, specifically for liquid art. The primary method suggested involves using a viscous base, such as methylcellulose, to maintain color separation. Participants recommend pouring colors into the container quickly to prevent diffusion and suggest using oil and water to create distinct layers. The conversation also hints at the potential for exploring non-mixing liquids to achieve clearer color separation.
