1. |
Draw and cut out shapes from construction paper. You can also reuse shape cut-outs you've made from previous art projects. |
 |
2. |
Put masking tape at the back of each shape. |
 |
3. |
Arrange the shapes on sketch paper and press firmly on each one. |
 |
4. |
Before we start painting, make sure to cover your work area with a mat or with newspapers. Prepare paint on your palette and thin down the paint with water. |
 |
5. |
Place a kitchen strainer or plastic basket on top of the sketch paper. You can either position it upright or upside-down, as long as it doesn't touch the paper directly. |
 |
6. |
Dip a toothbrush onto one color of paint. Shake off the excess paint. |
|
 |
7. |
Start brushing across the strainer so that the paint is sprayed around the shapes. |
 |
8. |
Repeat using other colors of paint until all the shapes have been painted. Rinse the toothbrush in water when changing colors or you may assign one toothbrush for each color. |
 |
9. |
Remove the strainer and the shape cut-outs to reveal your toothbrush-painted shapes. Let the painting dry.. |
