Description

This project can be done using tester pots of paint. This would be useful for a canvas you wanted to use in conjunction with a colour scheme in a room :)

Instructions

  1. Small 2053 1319402719

    First start off by blocking out the area you dont want to be painted with your masking tape. Its best if doing a pattern to use a ruler and pen to ensure its going to look equal.

  2. Small 2056 1319402826

    This is what mine looked like once I had blocked it all out.

  3. Small 2057 1319402857

    Take the time to smooth down all of the tape making sure it isn't sticking up anywhere :)

  4. Small 2058 1319402943

    Start to apply your paint, moving away from the tape to minimise bleeding. It may even help to dab it on

  5. Small 2060 1319403021

    Leave the paint to dry..................

  6. Small 2061 1319403075

    ........and finally peel off all of the masking tape. Once you have done this should all be done. If you find some of your paint has bled just use some white paint (or paint of the colour of your background) to tidy it up :)
