| DESCRIPTION | Create your own interesting papers | ||||
| DETAILS |
Get paper, paints, brushes, sponges, screening, toothbrush, saran wrap
and do your thing. Following are some suggestions to stimulate your
imagination. The possibilities are endless as well as the
applications. Any project using paper is a candidate for creative
papers. WAX RESIST. Rub the side of a crayon or oil pastel over a piece of lightly textured paper. Press hard as you rub. Mix water and paint and brush it over the paper. The wax resists the paint creating a textured effect. You might want to rub off some of the paint with a soft cloth to expose more texture. BRUSH MARKS. Fill a thick house paint brush with paint. Brush it in stripes across white paper. In another color brush across the original strokes. Add a third color if you wish. SWIRLS. Fill a rounded paintbrush with paint, swirling it round and round on the paper. When youıve finished one, make another beside it. Repeat again and again. Add another color if you wish. Great for butterfly wings! SPONGE PAINTING. Dip a piece of sponge into some paint, then dab it on a piece of paper. Dip before each dab. Then dab a darker shade on top of this one, leaving some of the original color showing. If you wish, you can add a third color. SPATTER PAINTING. Oh this is a messy business, even for an adult. After my initial attempts, I discovered I had splatters on my long sleeves so on went an old shirt of my husbandıs over my apron. Fill a stiff brush with paint, then rub your finger over the bristles making splatters on the paper below. This works, but something stiff over the bristles works better. I used a paint stick. Alternatively, rub a toothbrush over screening. PLASTIC WRAP. Wad some plastic wrap, dip it in paint and dab your paper. |
