A Canvas With Texture!

   I'm back! Today we are going to learn how to make a texture canvas! In a textured canvas you are making a creative abstract painting with a hint of something unique. When you touch it, you can have all different kinds of textures like rough or soft! All you need is a few materials:

• Molding Paste
• A plastic cup
• A plastic knife
• Fork
• Small things shaped as a circle
• Canvas (any size)
• Paint and paintbrush

    Above is the best brand for molding paste. You can get it at any craft store like Micheal's or AC Moore.

   Now we are ready to start! First, take your canvas and open the molding paste. Take the plastic knife and spread it on the whole canvas but not the borders on the side. Make sure it is smooth. Do not make it bumpy or add any design. Before it dries, you can create designs on top of the paste. You can take the fork and create a squiggly line across the canvas going horizontal. In addition, you can take the end of the cup and press it down on top of the squiggly line. Under the line, you can just dot it with the bottom of the fork to make a beautiful design. You can also take other materials and create any design of your imagination.

   It takes about 24 hours for the paste to dry. After it dries, take a color of paint and paint the borders of the canvas with any color of your choice. Next, paint on top of the paste. You can color the negitive space (outside) one color and the circles another color. Make sure to keep it colorful and neat. Try to color it based on each material. For example, you can color the things with the fork, blue and the things with the cup, yellow. Once that is dry, you are finally done! Have fun making your textured canvas!
