Simply apply one light coat (using a flat watercolor brush or a hake brush) onto your surface (recommend smoothest paper possible, I use either arches hp watercolor paper or my moleskine sketchbook, but a nice bristol board should work dandy as well). They have it for $3.21 and 4.39 respectively. If you want to order it online and you live in the states try Mister Art or Utrecht.
There was also an ebay store that had a ‘lot’ of bottles but the colors were hideous. There was also an art supply store called Island Blue in Victoria, BC that had a great price (I think it was 2.31 a bottle and they had a huge variety of colors) for it (too bad the shipping was $21. On-line I found it at a ASW, Jerry’s Artarama and several other locales. (I’ve been tinting mine with watercolors). It looked like quiet a few of the on-line stores carried both the white and black found here but also some wonderful light blue and a gray. I found it by doing a google search of the words “pelikan +plaka” there were several hits. I live in the metro DC area (Washington DC and parts of Maryland and Virginia) and have bought this at the Utrecht art store in DC (it’s near the National Women’s Art Museum) and Plaza Arts (in Fairfax, VA on Nutley Street)both carry the black or white plaka. Ok I’ve talked about silverpoint in several posts and happened to mention Pelikan’s Plaka which is a water based casein paint that is sold in 1.75 oz glass jars.
