Supplies

• Canvas | Can be paper, cardboard, or any canvas

• Paint

• Paintbrush

• Plate

Directions

1. Get ready for a mess! You can do this outside and place old newspapers around the canvas.

2. Pour the paint onto a plate. You can use a different plate for each color, or you can space them out on one plate. You can even try mixing some colors!

3. Dip your paintbrush in the paint. Now fling the paintbrush so the paint splatters on the canvas! It may take some time to get the technique down, so keep experimenting! You could try flinging down or flicking up the paintbrush to get the paint to splatter how you want.

4. You can even pour a little directly from the paint bottle. Just make sure not to cover up your entire painting!
