5 Gently insert stick into the layered paint. Move it very slowly from one side of the cup to the other, then lift it out in a scooping motion. (This breaks the paint layers but does not blend them.)

6 Place flat side of canvas on top of each cup and invert, keeping cup against canvas. Repeat with the other 2 cups.

9 Set canvases to dry on empty paint cups. Touch fingertips or bare spots with a craft stick and blended paint. Air-dry from 24–48 hours – until paint is not shiny and canvas texture can be seen.

CIY Staff Tips:

  • Before starting, protect all work surfaces and clothing.
  • Acrylic Paints are permanent when dry. Wipe up any paint spills when still wet.
  • Set up and work in a clean, dry environment (low humidity).
  • Allow Acrylic Paint to completely cover canvas and all sides so design is continuous when displayed.
  • Experiment with advanced techniques like square pours and dot pours.
