My Biggest Dip Painting - How to Turn your Leftover Paint into Art

Today I'll show you how to paint great works of art with just paints, a canvas and some masking film. You can do that too!

The acrylic paints were only diluted with a little water and Pouring Medium. For this painting here, I used leftover paints that I had left over from older paintings. The sealed cups keep well 2-3 months and since I paint many pictures with the pouring technique remains with the time always some left. Today I paint with it a large work of art with the dipping technique.

The canvas size is: 90 x 130 cm or 35.43 x 51.18 inches.
It is important to paint the canvas with a color base at the beginning, I chose white paint. Spread a little white paint then also on the work surface.

Now still distribute the colors on the canvas, there are no guidelines or rules. I just did not cover the whole work surface, I wanted to keep some white spots in the picture. It looks so much looser and not so cluttered.

In the end, place the canvas in the paint and press firmly so that the paint spreads nicely on the underside. Now peel off the canvas and let it dry. Finished is your own great work of art.

Now you know what you can do with your leftover paints. I hope you liked the idea and as always I appreciate a thumbs up or a nice comment.

Creative greetings

    Wow, thanks for all the nice comments ❤️ And sorry for the translation error, yes it is a plastic wrap not a foil. I use something like that to protect the furniture during renovation work.
  • Very well said about not being a right or wrong way to do this. The art is within us all. Its just a matter of letting it out. Encouraging others to create art is literally bringing more beauty into the world. Bring more beauty into the world leaves less room for hate and ugliness. Thank you for your beautiful painting and your beautiful words. Much respect 🙏.
