This week i started the painting process! I actually ended up painting two different canvas' because I forgot to document my progress on the first one! But I have to say its been a fun start to the project! I am going to go step by step (with pictures) in regards to what I have done this week:

First these are the supplies you will need to start:
I bought everything from Wal-mart for SUPER cheap! The paint was all .50 and I got a pack of 25 brushes for $5

To start getting painted you will start with the biggest brush you have. You will paint about an inch to a half inch at the top of the canvas. You want to get blue paint on both sides of the brush while dipping the corners in black. Glide the brush from side to side in the same direction.




You will repeat this step for blue (without black on the corners) and purple. You want about an inch to an inch and a half for each color. It will look like this when you are done:




At this point you want to blend the 3 colors together. To do this you will take a paper towel and dab the colors to remove any access paint so one color does not overwhelm the other. After dabbing the paint you will take a flat brush and gently glide the brush from side to side to blend the colors:
