Arts n’ Crafts Paint Pour

May 14, 2020 Leave a Comment

This Arts n’ Crafts Paint Pour is so satisfying! Plus, it uses an already used canvas so it is upcycling as well. This is an activity which is completely open and very creative. Try this Arts n’ Crafts Paint Pour for your next art experience…

Paint Pour Tutorial

For a paint pour you will need:

  • Canvas (blank or used)
  • Acrylic paint (use at least 3 different colours or more)
  • Art mat (or newspaper to protect the surface where you will be working)
  • Plastic or paper cup (you will be throwing it out afterwards)

Directions

  1. Cover your work space with an art mat or newspaper (I opted for art mat on top of grass because I wasn’t sure how messy this would be. If you are doing it indoors – definitely put down newspaper!)
  2. Lay your canvas on the art mat.
  3. Layer your paints in the plastic cup (I choose: green, white, and blue). And at first I did 1/3 for each colour – but I ended up adding more – read below for instructions on that)
  4. Inverse the paint on the canvas. Let the cup sit on the canvas for a minute so the paint drains out.
  5. Carefully, pick up cup and put it to the side.
  6. Then, pick up canvas and raise and lower it side to side to move the paint around.
  7. MORE PAINT POSSIBLY: I was using a big canvas and required more paint than the original 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 paint (that just wasn’t enough to cover my whole canvas). If you are using a smaller canvas – this will cover it fine and you won’t require additional paint. However, if you have a larger canvas, repeat step 3 (layering paint in cup). Then, inverse on the parts of the canvas which are not yet covered. Then, repeat step 6 (moving paint around).
  8. When the canvas is covered and you are happy with your work – allow the paint to dry on the canvas (I left it indoors over night).

A few tips on pouring paint

  • It can be messy. Roll up your sleeves and put on an art smock or apron.
  • It is so satisfying to see the paint move around!
  • This could be a great birthday party activity (and it turns into part of the take home loot bag)

Attempting homemade gluten-free bread. Merci @_na Attempting homemade gluten-free bread.

Merci @_nattyp for recommending @bobsredmill recipe! Realized mid-baking I didn't have xanthum gum but pushed forward anyway.

Scroll to see results. Smells great but definitely "heavy and dense"...I suppose the xanthum would have made it light and fluffy?

I shall continue my quest for soft gluten free bread... thankfully I have lots of active yeast from @baremrkt .

⭐️ Book Review ⭐️

Written by Caroline Fernandez, The Adventures of Grandmasaurus is a playful and educational story with a sneezing grandma who turns a museum field trip into a once in a lifetime adventure. While the grandkids make mature decisions, grandma is up to some tricks, and one cannot help to be struck by the clever role reversal.

What I appreciated most about this new picture book was the author’s well-thought-out decision to highlight and share interesting facts about the lesser known dinosaurs. While checking out this great book, I encourage you to also consider picking up a copy of Caroline’s other amazing children’s story, Stop Reading This Book. Follow Caroline @parentclub

A treat for me. I was inspired by @bfern21 forever A treat for me. I was inspired by @bfern21 forever ago to have a seasonal indoor decoration but could never find the right one. 

The "O" in HOME is replaced by different seasonal magnets. Currently in Easter mode! 

Was this a need? No.
Was this essential? No.
Does it make me happy? Yes.

My very first Public Lending Rights cheque. Level My very first Public Lending Rights cheque. Level unlocked. Though children's books are eligible for the PLR program, my first two books (BOREDOM BUSTERS and MORE BOREDOM BUSTERS) were deemed ineligible because they were categorized as "how to" books.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is eligible. THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS will be for next year. ✨

I would like to thank @canada.council (Canadian Council for the Arts) for supporting authors, celebrating libraries and enriching reader experience.

The public lending program sends yearly payments to authors who works are in Canada's public libraries.

Call to action: borrow books from public libraries...it helps authors! 👏

I don't know about you but I am NOT active enough I don't know about you but I am NOT active enough these days.

Pre-pandemic I was doing 2 yoga classes a week plus a couple 5K walks.💪

Over the last few months 
....my sport has been going up and down stairs to switch the laundry. 🤦‍♀️

I'm stiff and sitting way too much.

So I'm getting back to conditioning classes, stretching and walking (weather permitting).

Are you getting active these days?...
