For a group you might need to make a batch for every color.  This works best with pictures that have large open areas to be painted. Mix all ingredients until smooth.  Dab on paper with a brush or craft stick to fill in an area.  Place in a microwave oven on high for 20 to 30 seconds.  Let cool and display.
