Introduction: Free-Flow Painting

By
About: I am a self taught artist who enjoys painting, photography, crafts, jewelry making, sewing and so much more! I've sold some of my art at Farmers Markets and other events. My first passion is cooking and baking…

This is a very unique and fun way to paint! Even if you mess something up, all you have to do is tilt the canvas [ while it's still wet ] and poof! it's fixed! What I love best about this painting is how everybody's will look different, no matter how many times you make this, it will always be different and unique!

Supplies

Large canvas

1-2 metal scrubbies

At least 5 different colors of paint

Black paint

Paint brush or Paint knife

Step 1: Painting the Canvas Black

Pour some black paint on the canvas, and use the paint brush or the paint knife to spread the black paint all over the canvas. Cover the edges of the canvas with the black paint as well.

Don't let the black paint dry.

Step 2: Pouring Paint Over the Metal Scrubbie

Place 1-2 metal scrubbies in the center of the canvas. [ I had to put 2 of them on top of each other because one of them had too big of a hole in the center ].

Start by pouring one color of paint in the center of the metal scubbies.

Then pour another color in the center.

Start forming a patern like yellow, blue, pink ect. And go off of that, until you run out of paint or you are satisfied with how much paint is on the canvas.

Step 3: Making the Beautiful Design

Your metal scubbie will start to collect some paint in the center, so pick it up and let some of the paint drip off.

Place the scubbie back in the center and tilt the canvas in different directions. The paint will drip off the edges of the canvas.

Pick the scrubbie up again and let the paint drip off.

Tilt the canvas some more, until all the colored paint has covered all the black parts.

Step 4: Drying Time!

Place the canvas in a safe place for 24-36 hours or until completely dry.

Step 5: Complete!

Yay! You are all done!!
