How to Paint on Rice Paper?
Painting on crinkled rice paper helps you produce watercolors with an artsy look and sometimes an Asian feel. Rice paper is a thin, absorbent, see-through paper usually made in Japan. Some papers have designs embossed or imbedded in them. There are many beautiful types available at most art supply stores, and you can use other types of thin paper as well.
Applying paint to rice paper forces the artist to let go of rigid edges and allow a little randomness to take over. Nature scenes work nicely on this type of paper.
To prepare a painting surface for a project using rice paper, follow these steps:
1. Choose pieces of mat board and rice paper the same size. Mat board is a 4-ply board used to mat artwork when framing. The mat board can be any color, but it will show through the rice paper, influencing the color — which can be part of the fun.
2. Paint the mat board with diluted white glue. Dilute the glue with enough water to make it the consistency of whole milk.
3. Wad up the rice paper into a ball and then smooth it back out and place it on the gluey mat board so that it adheres to the mat board. Wrinkles are okay; they add character.
4. Let the glue dry overnight.
5. Start painting.
Your paint reacts very differently on this surface. It's looser and may have a mind of its own. Paint shows up darker in the cracks of the wrinkles, giving the image a unique appearance. It's difficult to get a hard edge, but the wrinkles are an interesting design element.

What is the best substitute for rice paper?
I've been wanting to begin a project recently, that is making a handmade Japanese lantern, but I'm having some difficulty in finding the rice paper needed to use and I'm not sure what the best substitute would be. (And preferably something that doesn't burn easily, if thats's even possible)
Mulberry paper would work, but it may be as difficult to locate in your area as rice paper. You also might try parchment paper which you can find at the grocery store around where plastic wrap, tin foil and baggies are located. Parchment paper is often used in baking to keep goodies from sticking to cookie sheets..I've used it to make votive candle holder without incident.
