Before Pouring The Paint – Painted Canvas

I found a 16X20 5 pack of canvases at Hobby Lobby for $10. SCORE! I’ve wanted to do a paint pour on a painted canvas for a while now, so I’ve been hoarding all my leftovers. Since this was my first attempt, I opted into trying it out on a canvas first. Just the thought of dumping paint on furniture made me a bit nervous. I’d heard a lot of talk about adding floetrol to paint to keep it flowing, but like most of the time, I come up short in that department.  And like most impatient DIYers, I just winged. I use water to thin the paint… it works.  I’m an eternal optimist!

I had some metallic topcoats that were pretty thin to start with on hand, so it didn’t need to thin them with water. The chalk mineral paint was a bit thick, and I was pretty sure it wouldn’t pour as I wanted it to. I added the paints to individual plastic cups and added water to the thicker chalk mineral paints to get the consistency I wanted. Not too thin because I needed the coverage on the painted canvas. All Dixie Belle paints are water-based, and I knew this would not be a problem due to adding the additional water to thin them for this technique.

The Results Of My Painted Canvas

This was an enjoyable and simple way to use up all those partial paint containers. As a result, I created a beautifully painted canvas. Actually three! Maybe I should try it on furniture. 🙂
