OK don't laugh.

I want to try floating paint on water to create an effect on a bowl rim has anyone tried this if so what is the best paint to use.

I have tried artist paint straight from the tube despite being oil paint it sank, thinking that it was too thick I thinned it with the correct thinners for that type of paint with mixed result I ended up with a weak layer on the surface of the water.

Any suggestions gratefully received
