Spill art

• Large plastic covering to protect the floor.
• A square or large object to place in the centre of your art that will provide the shaping for your art.
• A variety of paint colours and types. We recommend using only Resene waterborne paints.
• Patience!

Step 1: Lay the plastic floor covering on the ground and make sure it is smoothed out. We recommend placing a small barrier all the way around in case the paint travels further than expected. Make sure it is in a location that it can be left to dry for an extended period.
Step 2: Place the square or large object in the middle of the plastic floor covering.
Step 3: Pour the first colour slowly onto the middle of the square or large object. Leave for a short while then pour the next colour. Repeat this step until you are happy with the finished look.
Step 4: Leave to dry. Due to the sheer amount of paint it will take some time for the spill art to dry.
Step 5: Move to your desired location for display.
Step 6: Recycle any unwanted paint and cans/pails using the Resene PaintWise recycling service. Resene plastic testpots can be recycled in most kerbside collections once the paint is cleaned out.
