Components

*A somewhat liquid or runny paint is very best. (All the much better for splattering with, my dear) We’ve applied all various sorts, including liquid watercolors, watered-down tempera paint, and watered down craft acrylics.

Guidelines

  1. Set up for the mess

    If you are carrying out your painting Outdoors, merely lay your paper on the ground and go at it. (We’ve applied cardboard as a sturdy surface, but it is not important.)

    If you are brave adequate to do splatter painting INSIDE, we advocate covering your work surface with a drop cloth and carrying out it on a smaller sized scale (consider wrist flicks rather of entire arm flicks).

  2. Start splatter painting!

    Dip your paint brush or spoon into the paint then flick your wrist to splatter the paint across the paper.

    Continue splattering with a single or more colors till you are satisfied with your painting.
    Then, let dry.

Encourage your kid to experiment with a variety of splatter motion: attempt short wrist flicks or expansive wrist flicks. Splatter with your entire arm, upper body, or whole body. See what takes place when you splatter close to the surface or far away. Try circular motions or up and down motions.
