Steps:
1
- Stick small, torn pieces of masking tape to a 15.2 cm x 30.5 cm piece of Bristol board.
- Overlap the pieces and change directions to create a random pattern.
- Make sure all the edges of the tape are flat and firmly attached to the surface of the Bristol board.
2
- Divide the width of the Bristol board into 6 fairly equal sections.
- Choose two colours of acrylic paint – one light and one dark.
- Paint sections 2 and 3 of the taped Bristol board with the light colour.
- Allow the paint to dry completely.
3
- Paint a darker colour over the light colour in section 3.
- Use very little paint.
- Dry brush it into the cracks made by the masking tape.
4
- Use watercolour paint to fill in section 4.
- Notice the difference.
5
- Paint section 5 with glitter paint.
6
- Use washable tempera paint to cover section 6.

- Set the paper aside to dry.
8
