Materials

  • Canvas or thick paper, 1 piece (30 × 40 cm or similar)
  • Window squeegee, 1 piece (20–25 cm wide blade)
  • Acrylic paint in assorted bright colors, about 5–8 ml per color
  • White acrylic paint, about 20 ml
  • Small squeeze bottles or spoons for paint dots, 2–3 pieces
  • Palette knife or old card, 1 piece
  • Table cover or plastic sheet, enough to protect surface
  • Paper towels, 4–5 sheets

Instructions

  • Place the canvas flat on a protected surface and make sure it will not slide while working.
  • Add small dots of different colored paint across the lower half of the canvas, spacing them unevenly for a natural look.
  • Apply a line or scattered patches of paint near the top area where the squeegee will start pulling.
  • Hold the squeegee at a slight angle and pull it slowly downward in one smooth motion, letting the colors blend as they move.
  • Clean the squeegee blade with a paper towel between pulls to keep colors fresh.
  • Repeat the pull once or twice more if desired, adjusting pressure to change texture.
