Looking to add a bold and colorful
painting into your home I'm gonna show
you in this dish soap painting how to do
that coming up right now
hey guys Wild4Games coming at you
from my creative control playlist where
I bring you the best tips, tricks, and
even tutorials like this one here this
your first time here consider
subscribing and clicking on that bell so
you know when my videos go live I just
hit over a thousand subs and it may not
be a big accomplishment, but it is to me.
So I thought I'd celebrate by showing you
how to do a cool painting that's very
easy, that any beginner or even a kid can
do with a little supervision and it's
bright colorful and it's so eye-catching
and they're super fun to do let me show
you how to do it right now for this
project you're going to need a canvas or
multiple canvases a paintbrush a paper
plate for mixing your paints on and a
wide variety of paint colors depending
on what you'd like to use let's talk
about colors for one quick second I
recommend picking your favorite color
and then working off the color wheel of
neighboring colors to it either pick to
the left and the right or work your way
down the color wheel and only pick three
if you limit yourself to three colors
it's gonna have a much more bold
statement for your painting now for the
fun part painting the canvas don't worry
about how you paint your canvas just
attack the canvas with different strokes
different colors and have a lot of fun
I'm doing mine a little bit different
and I'm using three panels on one panel
I'm gonna use three colors that are
adjacent on the color wheel on another
canvas I'm gonna do another three
different colors that are adjacent on
the color wheel and I'm gonna do the
same thing on the last canvas and I'm
gonna make one huge cohesive piece there
are only two rules when you do this
piece right here make sure your acrylic
paint is non water-based if it is
water-based it will peel right off when
we do the following steps and rule
number two is have a lot of fun do a
bunch of different style brush strokes
be brash be bold be different in this
that's your pro tip for this painting
when you are all done with your
paintings make sure you allow them to
dry for a couple hours better yet maybe
even 24 they have to be strong and solid
when
all dry move them somewhere where we can
work with a lot of space preferably
outside because we will be using spray
paint now we need to grab some spare so
I recommend using dish soap because it's
very easy and affordable and you can get
it off Amazon or the dollar store or if
you don't have any of that lying around
you can use laundry detergent as well
but I recommend the dish soap from here
we're gonna create some nice ribbons and
to do so we need a spare bowl and a
spoon just put the laundry detergent or
soap into the bowl and from here we can
use our spoon to ribbon on streaks on
top of the canvas and this is going to
create a protective barrier that allows
the spray paint not to adhere to the
canvas if you want very small ribbon
like streaks I recommend using the spoon
if you wanna have thicker bolder lines
or even circles or sometimes splatters I
recommend actually pouring straight out
from the laundry detergent bottle or
dish soap bottle for a bunch of
different effects but it's completely up
to you do whatever you think is gonna
work best for your painting now it's
time to have even a little more fun
attack the canvas with some spray paint
I'm gonna use black metallic gloss paint
here but you can use whatever color you
like
I do recommend picking up a gloss color
because it's gonna make all those colors
underneath have even more contrast to
pop forward make sure you give your can
a nice solid shake and cover every inch
of your canvas and I do mean cover it's
gonna absorb a lot of paint from the
spring can so make sure you take your
time and cover every solid inch as you
start to cover your canvas in the spray
paint you see all these cool effects
start happening if you're in a warmer
climate please don't do this in direct
sunlight as the dish soap can start to
actually dry and harden and it's gonna
start causing some cracking in the
painting so try to do this as quickly as
possible and not in direct sunlight if
you didn't paint the gallery wrap sides
I do recommend going over it with the
spray paint so this way it looks like
one whole cohesive painting that has
been framed in by the spray
paint just pull it separate apart and
make sure to get those rails as well
after you finish spraying your canvas
check the back of the can to see the
recommended dry time I recommend leaving
alone for a couple hours because the
next step is important we need to move
our canvas to somewhere where it won't
matter where soap will actually hit the
ground so I'm moving over here to my
loose park I recommend perhaps some
grass or in any open area will do and
all you have to do is attack it with
your hose perhaps a light rag or like
sponge or better yet I'm just gonna use
my fingertips and start working off all
of the soap and the loose paint that is
sitting on top of that so you're just
gonna have to repeat this process a
couple of times depending on how many
canvases you did or the actual size your
canvas but don't be afraid to actually
work in those cracks of where that color
is because some soap might be sitting in
there because it may have dried up a
little bit
it wouldn't have hardened but it would
have sat up a little bit so don't be
afraid to rub it all out nice and good
and get all the canvases nice and clean
don't be worried if your canvas gets wet
because it is just a fabric it will dry
real easily by being wiped off with a
rag or in the Sun a little bit if your
painting still wet don't be afraid just
take a loose paper towel or even a rag
and just kind of wipe it dry and then
the Sun will do the rest of the work and
make sure you do this to all of your
canvases before you add any additional
varnishes or coatings you want to make
sure it's a hundred percent dry with my
paintings all dry these things look
absolutely gorgeous and they are badass
they pop right off the canvas and will
look good in any room all you got to do
is add a little wire to the back so that
way you can hang them and put them
wherever you want these things are
stunning hey guys thanks for watching
this was a super fun one to do and I'm
glad I get to share it with you on
hitting 1,000 subs I'm glad I did
something fun colorful and you know what
it's perfect for beginning artists out
there or better yet it's even better for
kids that want to try some art projects
that are really interested by them a
basic acrylic set they learn how to make
some ditional colors there by adding
them all
together and they can't mess this up
this is something super fun and easy to
do and they're gonna learn a lot about
art and experiments around and it looks
great anywhere in the house if you guys
