Creating a Wash for Splattering

Little drops of paint can add a big impact to your project. Not only do they create dimension, but they also add mystery.

STEP 1: Create a Splatter Wash

In a plastic container add a drop of paint and 3 tablespoons of water.

STEP 2: Add Splatter

Dip a toothbrush into the wash. With your Paper Clay shape placed on a protected workspace, splatter the egg by pulling your thumb back across the toothbrush’s bristles. Allow the shape to dry.

STEP 3: Pour Splatter Wash

As an alternative, place the wash into a mini spray bottle.

STEP 4: Spray Plaster With a bottle

With the lid on the mini spray bottle, mist your shape or other item to be altered.

STEP 5: More Options

You can use this splattering technique on almost any surface and any material.
