Splatter Paint Fun

The project I'm sharing with you today was actually completed with one of my best friends two summers ago.  We were in Hobby Lobby looking around at art & decorations for my dorm room, when she mentioned a project we could do.  Her other friend had done this project with some art in her room, and loved it.  After hearing her out, we decided it was a plan, and splatter paint art was born.
The first step was to get all our supplies:

The next step (once we got home, of course) was to put on appropriate painting clothing:

Then we headed down to the basement, laid out a cloth over the ping pong table & got to work.  We found that the best technique was getting a lot of paint on the brush & then letting it drizzle off along the canvas.  We also tried brush strokes, throwing it, etc.  Basically, you can do whatever you want to get the desired effect.  You can also paint a quote or a stencil on top of the splatter paint once it dries.  I originally had planned to use a paisley stamp, but decided not to.  This project was such a success, that we sent my friends mom out to get more canvases, so that she could paint some for herself too! & to this today, this is the most commented on art in my room at school.

Here's the finished product:

This is such a fun project to do with friends, kids, etc.  Plus, it's simple and cheap & in the end, you get a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is sure to be a conversation piece.  So, get out there & get splattered!
