7 Clever And Fun Painting Hacks

You don’t have to be a professional artist to make decent artwork, sometimes all you need is a good hack and random object that you can find around your house. Learn a trick or two from this fun tutorial by Blossom on YouTube.

Materials:

• Canvas
• Paint
• Comb
• Bead chain
• Cotton swabs
• Squeegee
• Spray paint

Directions:

Step 1

Apply plaster to your canvas until completely covered, then grab a comb and create patterns around. Make a dotted outline of the pattern that you want using black paint or whatever you want, then add some dotted colors inside the outline, and place a bead chain around your pattern. Grab the end of the chain then slowly drag it down to smear and spread the paint, and create abstract art. Another art that you can do easily is painting a cactus using your fingers, simply apply paint to one of your fingers, then press it down the canvas blotting randomly, and then outline the blotted paint to complete the form of the cactus. You can add some thorns and flowers for the details.

Step 2

You can easily draw pretty roses without breaking a sweat. First, roughly apply a base color, then add some white streaks, grab a cotton swab, and use it to swirl the paint around. Another trick is creating an abstract forest by applying green and brown dots on your canvas and smearing it down using a squeegee. If you want to draw large bamboo trees, you can easily do it by smearing your painted finger down a canvas, then grab a knife, and glide it down, stop, skip a bit, then continue this motion. Grab a pointed paintbrush, then draw some bamboo leaves using the excess paint on the sides. Lastly, this trick is called hydro dripping, spray paint on a tub of water, then slowly submerge and twist the white object that you want to paint, lift and let dry.
