Halloween Bloodbath Fountain

Step 7Painting

Painting
Now it's time to paint our foamy Frankenstine! Start off by covering any parts you "don't" want painted with masking tape! I wanted my bones to remain their normal color - So I covered them to the best of my ability with some tape to protect them from the spray cans of doom.

I masked off a portion of the basin with 'RIP' spelled out in tape. The idea was that the blood would show through the unpainted portion and it would show the 'blood' in the basin.. but it's really too dark to tell. I think I may end up painting over the letters or outlining them with some red, drippy acrylic paint.

After your satisfied with that you can break out your spray paint and start coloring. I used three shades, but you can use more or less and of course different colors depending on your tastes!

Once your paint is dry, and your satisfied with the result you can take off the tape. Some of it may need to be cut if it's under the foam - Else you may end up ripping your 'rocks' off the fountain.
