Print Project

Step 1

Cover your work surface with a plastic drop cloth.

Step 2

Set the canvas on the drop cloth and position some disposable cups under the canvas edges to elevate.
TIP: This will prevent it from sticking.

Step 3

Pour ready-mixed acrylic paint from the bottle onto your canvas. Pour a half dollar size puddle of paint onto the canvas in two or three areas. Pour the next directly into the puddles. Continue alternating paint until you have several layers in assorted puddles onto your canvas.
TIP: This is a very messy project so protect your hands with disposable gloves.

Step 4

Pick up the canvas and tilt it in one direction so the paint begins to mix and marble. Tilt in other directions until the canvas is covered and you are happy with the look. To get the sides covered, you can simply dip them into the paint that has run off the canvas onto the table. Set the canvas on cups to let it drip and dry. Let dry completely for 24 hours.
