STEP 01: TAPE OUT A GRID

Use your masking tape to create a grid with four vertical and five horizontal lines.​

STEP 02: LOAD UP YOUR PALETTE KNIFE

Add all colours from your kit to the palette knife at once, keeping them mostly unmixed. Time to start making marks.

STEP 03: STROKES + FLOW

Press and drag the palette knife across each square. Vary the flow, strokes and colour so every square feels different, but still cohesive.

STEP 04: BUILD THE GRID & LEAVE IT THICK

Continue until the full grid is filled. Keep using all colours in every mark so the piece stays cohesive. Always apply a generous amount of paint for a textured finish.

STEP 05: PEEL OFF THE TAPE SLOWLY

Once fully dry, remove the tape carefully to reveal the clean grid.
