Painting – Mix it up!
After my post on ‘How to make paint‘, I thought i’d give you a few ideas that you may not have thought of – to do with paint!
Sponge Painting – Use a sponge and paint to make patterns and effects, this is good for display work ie for a sky or jungle scene. This technique is also great for covering large areas. Full painting pinnys recommended!
CD Painting – Take an old cd (aka mmm bop by hanson, or Mr Blobby!) and paint the shiny side, press it onto paper to make a cd print.
Comb Painting – pop a dollop of paint onto a piece of paper (thick paint works best) and drag the comb along the paper to make a comb effect. This one is great for making rainbows.
Straw Painting – Take some runny paint and put a bit on the paper take your straw and blow the paint to make a pattern.
Splatter Painting – Laden your brush with plenty of fairly runny paint then flick the brush so you make a speckled effect on the paper. This one is good for firework pictures, especially if you use black paper.
Stamp Painting – Use ready-made foam stamps or make your own by carving shapes into potato halves. Dip in the paint and stamp away – thick paint works best.
