Beginner
You're new to the skills necessary to complete this project, or maybe you've tried them just once or twice before.
Step 1 |
Project Note: Use disposable gloves to protect your hands from the messiness of this project. Cover a level working surface with a disposable tablecloth. |
Step 2 |
Hot glue a 6"x6" canvas to the center of the 12"x12" canvas and place in the center of the disposable tablecloth. TIP: For a fun flair, attach it at an angle as shown. |
Step 3 |
Pour some Titanium White paint into one of the disposable cups. Add a small amount of water and mix well. The water should thin the paint enough to pour out of the cup. |
Step 4 |
Prime the canvases with this paint mixture. Use a jumbo craft stick to spread the paint evenly over the top of the canvases. |
Step 5 |
Add more Titanium White to the cup and add more water. This time, thin the paint even more with water. The paint mixture should be easily poured from the cup. |
Step 6 |
Pour each color of paint in separate cups and add water to thin paint to same consistency as the white in Step 5. Mix water well into the paint. |
Step 7 |
Hold one cup of paint mixture above the canvases, in the center, and pour a little puddle on the top. |
Step 8 |
Repeat Step 7 with all colors, alternating colors, without a specific pattern, until all paint has been poured. Allow the paint to move naturally down the stacked canvases. TIP: Flick the excess paint left in the cups and on the jumbo craft sticks over the canvas, randomly. Let dry completely. |
Step 9 |
Once dry, lift from the disposable tablecloth and cut away the excess paint around the sides. Share your project photos with #MakeItWithMichaels |
