Abstract Acrylic Painting Tutorial
Have you tried painting with COLORSHOT Premium Acrylic Paints yet? If you haven’t, there’s no time like the present to get started! “Okay, but I don’t know how to paint,” you might argue. We have you covered there too! Artist Leslie Saeta from the incredibly fabulous lifestyle blog My 100 Year Old Home will show you how to create your own abstract art in this acrylic painting tutorial. So now that you’re out of reasons NOT to try our acrylic paints, it’s time to get started on your next artistic adventure! You’ll need a paintbrush and palette knife For this acrylic painting tutorial, Leslie uses two tools – a palette knife for building texture, and a paintbrush for brushing on and blending paint for each layer on the canvas. Use palette knife to spread paint For your first layer, use the palette knife to spread swatches of different paint colors onto the canvas. It doesn’t have to be perfect or uniform; get creative with it and add lots of texture if you like! First layer of paint If you’re following this acrylic painting tutorial when making your own painting, your first layer might look a little something like this. It doesn’t HAVE to match though; it’s YOUR painting! Brush a layer of paint over base layer For the next layer in this acrylic painting tutorial, grab your paintbrush and start brushing other paint colors over your base layer. You can brush the color in any direction you like, any place you feel like on the canvas. Continuing brushing on swatches of paint Continue layering swatches of color with your paintbrush. You can make the swatches as large or small as you’d like, and you don’t have to wait for each paint layer to dry before adding more paint. Part of the fun is seeing how the colors blend to make new hues! Determine focal point of painting Once you’ve blocked out the colors to your liking, for the next part of this acrylic painting tutorial, Leslie recommends deciding where you’d like the focal point of your piece to be. You’ll then want to shift your color application around it as you work on adding more paint layers. Use palette knife to add texture Continue brushing on more sections of different paint colors. You can even use your palette knife to add texture as you work. Add brighter colors Try adding in swatches of brighter colors as you build your layers. Add darker strokes for depth Then add strokes of darker colors for depth. Add more color to focal point Add your heaviest concentration of color(s) where you want the focal point(s) of your painting to be. Continue until you are happy with the result!

Flower Spray Paint Art Technique
We talk a lot about spray painting items around our homes and offices, but we haven't talked much about art - until today. Spray paint is the easiet way to give an item a whole new look without spending much, but it can also be used on canvas to make super cool statement art for your spaces. We teamed up with spray paint artist Stacie England to give you tips and techniques for creating art with COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints. Read on to see how you can pair acrylic paints with spray paint to make a vibrant abstract flower painting! First add a nice, thick basecoat of acrylic paint onto your canvas using a brush or palette knife. You can use any color you like; for the featured piece, Stacie used COLORSHOT Marshmallow Acrylic Paint. Next spray a circle of spray paint in the desired size you want your flower. Using a palette knife, begin smearing paint in a circular motion. Continue loosely swiping paint in a circular motion, allowing the base color to come through. Once you have your outline established, begin swiping paint in abstract petal shapes within the flower. It doesn't have to be perfect, loose strokes work just fine! Continue this process until you are happy with your flower shape. Repeat where desired in other places on the canvas. Let dry completely. Once your flowers are in place and dry, use a brush to add in other details like leaves or additional highlights or shading for flowers. And that's it! Such a cool way to create flower art with spray paint!
Rainbow Spray Paint Art Technique
Rainbows are a symbol of hope and a good reminder that while we have storms in life, the sunshine always follows. They also make fun art - for these same reasons - and because they're PRETTY! You might not have ever thought about making rainbow art with spray paint, but artist Stacie England did, and we're swooning over it. Wanna make your own? Grab some COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints and head this way for a quick tutorial from Stacie! Make sure to cover your work surface with protective plastic or painter's cloth. Place your triangle canvas on the protected surface and choose the order of your spray paint colors. Begin spraying arcs, starting at the base of the canvas. Continue spraying arcs as you work your way up the canvas. Spray a light layer of black spray paint (Blackout) over the canvas after you've added your colors, then repeat with another layer of colors. Repeat with a layer of Blackout. You can even use a hairdryer to dry paint in between layers so the colors don't become muddy. Add in a few arcs of solid black for definition in between layers. Add more arcs of color until you're happy with how the piece looks. Let it dry completely. No you can have sunshine and rainbows no matter what the weather's like outside!
