Easy squeegee painting

A simple and fun technique to paint with acrylic paints

Ingredients
  

  • paper (watercolor/craft/construction) or canvas
  • paint
  • squeegee
  • tape (painters/masking/washi-anything that will peel from the paper without ripping it)
  • paper towel/rag
  • (optional) paint brushes/markers/pens

Instructions
 

  • Gather supplies
  • Tape paper to cardboard/block like a frame on all sides to stabilize and keep clean edges (skip this step if using a canvas)
  • Randomly blob paint, or make a design on paper
  • Drag squeegee smoothly from one edge of the paper to the other
  • Go back over with the swirled paint left on squeegee to fill in blanks, or create another layer if needed/wanted
  • Remove tape and let dry
  • Draw on, decorate, or leave as is.
  • Voila. You made art!
