I have no black or white paint!! How do i make some?

I need to paint a picture but all i have is the simple Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, BLue and Purple. I have literally been to every single store in my (VERY) small town and not a single place has black or white paint!! I have one piece of black chalk and one piece of white chalk. Is there any way to make paint from that? Please help!! I won't be able to leave town for paint because of our crappy vehicle.

    No, not chalk.

    Sorry.

    You need to order it by mail if you can't go get it. Think about a school or place where painting is taught. Maybe you could "borrow" some. Usually artists know other artists! Are you using acrylic or oil or water or what?

    Maybe you could try making some black. If you mix lots of colors, you'll get brown, but you already know that. Put some black chalk in and see what happens.

    But you can't make white from red. You need some titanium white for a base to make light colors.
