How to make

Step 1

Sketch your design on the canvas as light as possible so you can erase the lines afterwards. Activate the pens by following the instructions - they must be shaken before use, and the ends pushed in a few times to get the paint flowing.

 

Paint your designs onto the canvases, one colour at a time. It is best to start with the lightest colour first, however this is not always possible depending on the design. If you have two different colours next to one another, allow one to dry thoroughly before applying the next one, to prevent the colours running into one another.

 

Tip: If one of the pens leaks onto your work, dab at the blob of paint with a damp tissue or cotton bud to 'wash' away the paint, allow the canvas to dry and then you're ready to start again.

Step 2

Once complete, allow the whole work to dry then mount and display them.
