Get a jump start

This is a fun way to get a great background-Fast! It will work on paper, canvas or panel.

Begin with 2-3 paint colors plus white. Place drops around the

 surface and spray with water.

Place a piece of paper on top and begin to lightly 

drag, twist and turn the paper. The top sheet is being 

used as a brush to move your paint around.

Here I am using a deli sheet so you can see the paint 

below. Keep moving the paper around.

While the paint is still wet, drop some rubbing alcohol 

onto the surface to create pattern.

Blot any areas that have too much paint, let dry and 

you are ready to jump into your project.

Plus you have the bonus paper that was used as 

your brush. Gotta love it.
