Is it possible to make some kind of black paint at home?

I made a paper mache mountain for a school project due today and I need to paint it. I don't think I have any black paint. Is there any kind of household stuff I could mix to make something I could use as paint? Or do I just have to color the whole thing with a Sharpie?Is it possible to make some kind of black paint at home?
Black is the most DIFFICULT pigment to make... even with proper minerals !! You can use charcoal or lamp-black as the pigment.





Here is a site with some recipes: http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/rural鈥?/a>





GOOD LUCK... and next time plan ahead !!
