Step 1

Cover area with a disposable tablecloth and be sure to wear goggles to protect your eyes from splatter.

Step 2

Pour 1 bottle of paint into a plastic tub. Fill the bottle half full of water and add to the paint in the plastic tub. Use a craft stick to mix. Repeat with 2 more paint colours in the remaining plastic tubs.

Step 3

Set the canvas on the ground in the centre of the disposable tablecloth and set the plastic tubs with paint within reach.

Step 4

Pull the ball lever at the top of a splash pumper up about halfway. Set the end of the splash pumper in the paint and pull the ball lever the rest of the way.
NOTE: The more air in the barrel provides a more splatter effect.

Step 5

Stand over the canvas and push the ball lever down quickly. Repeat with each colour. Let dry.
