    Video Transcript

    "The outside of the cornea is also dark, almost black, so we're going to paint it black as well, with a very thin line that's like a half a millimeter wide. Now being that its oil, it's going to take several days to dry, so, of course, anything that we put down can come up quite easily. The color I want for the cornea of the eye is going to be a greener color than that is in this photograph, I'm going to paint it sort of a turquoisey, get it to be quite interesting. So I'm going to need thallo green, and I'm going to mix it with just regular cobalt, or ultramarine blue."
