Get App This painting technique creates a lot of texture & motion. It’s a great background for lettering, handmade cards, & scrapbooking. @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App You’ll need paper/canvas, small flat brush, palette, multiple hues acrylic paint in one color family, a couple metallics, white, & paper towels. @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Fill your palette with acrylic paints. You need several hues of one color (I’m using green), plus a few metallics, white, & one pop color. 1 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Start painting with light, loose strokes. Go slow, my video is sped up 1.5x so you can see the full process! 2 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Here’s a look at the loose strokes in slow motion. The brush goes in a different angle each time, almost making X’s and V’s. @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Rotate between a few light colors & white to cover the full canvas. 3 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Time to start layering! Using a light touch with very little paint on the brush, create more sporadic angled strokes. 4 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Martha Stewart’s pearl paint works great here to add depth and dimension. 5 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Brush off excess paint as needed. 6 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Continue adding lots of different hues and metallics. 7 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Add back in some flat white to create depth and light. 8 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Time for a contrasting or pop color, I chose a blue that still has a lot of green in it. Use this sparingly! 9 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Layer some greens back over your pop color. You don’t want the pop color sitting on top of everything else. 10 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App As you get towards the end, pick up the piece frequently to look it over and see what more it needs. 11 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Mine just needed a little more mid green and metallic silver, then it’s done! 12 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Here’s a full time lapse in another color way. In real time this painting took just under 10 minutes! @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Time to get crafty with your custom hand painted backgrounds! @jessiekatzgreenberg on
