Spatter Painting
All About Me
- cut out shapes for
silhouettes from cardboard (ie. chip box or cereal box or old file folder)
- arrange shapes on a pieces of paper
- using a nail brush (or an old tooth brush)
and an old large-sized comb (or a piece of plastic craft mesh used in needle
work), dip brush into paint and proceed to rub it back and forth over comb
so that paint "spatters" over silhouettes and onto background
paper leaving an outline of the silhouette when shape is moved
- use different colors, shapes, move shapes
around paper to create interesting overlays
- WASH brushes in warm sudsy water immediately
after use
- dry in a bucket with bristles up in air
to prevent bending of brushes
- label work and clean up
