Fingerpaints and Fractals

Sample Viscosity Experiments

First, experiment with the dilution of the paint.
Left to right we see undiluted, 1:1, and 1:2 dilutions.
The number of branches off the longest branch is 4, 7, and over 13.
It is hardly a surprise that the delicacy and number of branches increases as the viscosity of the paint is reduced.
