Straight from the bottle, dot your canvas with your acrylic paints. Add as many dots and colors as you like!

Take your straightedge and from the top of the canvas, pull it down to the bottom to smear the paint. Note: If using a ruler, push down using the middle of the ruler to ensure the paint smears evenly

Once the paint is dry, carefully peel off the dried glue to reveal the clean lines of your design on the canvas! You’ve got your own beautiful masterpiece. Note: If you wish, you can still achieve the look of negative space by leaving the glue on the canvas
