I used 1 1/2 cups of latex paint, 1/2 cup of plaster of Paris, and a 1/2 cup (more or less) of water, mix with a painting stick. I mixed very slowly until I got the consistency I wanted. I purchased the paint and plaster at Home Depot for much cheaper than regular chalk paint, and got a lot more paint out of it. I mixed in an old plastic butter dish with a top so it wouldn’t dry out until I started painting again. Hope this helps !
