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.

[@jonnypeace5161]

Curious did you try smaller canvases on the plastic after you did this ? Cuz I think I definitely would have maybe even try a toss spinning canvas in the middle or a swipe with canvas in hand looks like fun to experiment with And honestly I find your constant creativity with this art inspiring always thinking outside the box. I love it

[@debrashire7308]

I have done small ones but yours is so bright and beautiful

[@janebrownell6828]

Very cool. Nice to see the person behind the art!

[@janisedenton4242]

I agree wholeheartedly. He's been The Invisible Man to me. 😆 Nice to have a face to go with the arms and black gloves..

[@mrss4328]

I was going to comment the exact same thing. This picture would look great in a baby’s/kids room And then as they get older moved into the family room. Or leave it in the kids room if they like it. Lots of happy color. I like it.

[@PALup13]

@@janisedenton4242 Janise, I never knew it was a man! LOL another lesson in stereotyping, thinking that most people that do this would probably be a female! Lesson many might need to learn.. nonetheless, definitely one of my favorites here!!💖

[@emilyflotilla931]

@Patti Lupo There's quite a few great male pourer out there!

[@georgeyoung613]

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 🙏.

[@pegeen6634]

Well there’s the Man‼️ Thanks for taking us along with your process ❗️ The piece turned out fabulous ❣️😻

[@LaurentiuAG]

You are one of my favorites. And good to see you as complete body, not only your hands 😁. You are an inspiration for a lot of people. Great job and very interesting idea to use leftovers. Thank you!

[@blackcatblue]

Beautiful for a feature wall painting. You always make it look so simple to create. And WOW..... It's nice to finally meet the man behind the bare arms and black gloves 🤗👍 My first thought I had when I saw you were painting such a large piece was .... Arggh..... my aching knees 🦵 😂

[@jennyc5132]

It is simple...splash paint around, dip canvas, pull away..go small first...

[@lynntrucks-burton2320]

Love all your work. Have been following you for a while. Nice to see your face!!

[@ronaldovieracouto4866]

[@debcobb9739]

Oh wow, gorgeous...great idea for using all your leftovers...that method would be great for fabric painting using the same technique instead of spatter or brushing...I may have to give it a try...thanks for sharing.

[@lindarebello9196]

Very large and beautiful. Happy to finally see you. 💕

[@tanjawiegrefe7335]

[@rainzartmorgan4399]

Wow beautiful and so nice to actually finally meet the man behind the black gloves. 😊

[@aprilrains9921]

Like the color combination. Wish what was left on the floor could be saved and hung next to the framed one. It creates a cool companion piece

[@patriciawhite619]

That is so bright and beautiful and stunning, I love it! 😍

[@carrichildress]

So fun. I enjoy doing this with small canvases dipped in the run off paint from the piece I just painted. A few of my favorites have been made that way.

[@joychip5994]

What kind of paint is it. Is it the one you mix with chemicals

[@user-hs7iu8fw8n]

Tictus здорово получилось!!! Настоящая абстракция!!!!!🥰

Quel courage de faire un tableau si grand , tout d’abord merci pour la traduction en Français .Des le début ou je vous ai vu peindre ,j’ai de suite accroché et me suis abonnée.J’aime ce que vous faites, j’aime votre discrétion, votre travail fait dans une propreté que l’on ne trouve pas souvent , tout est net , et pour ma part c’est très important, c’est une sorte de respect pour ceux qui vous regarde . Vos tableaux sont magnifiques,vous avez un goût inné pour les couleurs . Merci beaucoup pour ce plaisir visuel que vous m’apportez , je suis fane !!

[@reginasmith6091]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[@rosemaryclark610]

I've also done that on bubble wrap. And depending on how you pull the canvas off the plastic wrap or whatever you use, the pattern will be different. Sometimes I put a little weight in the middle and pull it straight up. That's cool too! Sometimes mine look like flowers, sometimes they look more abstract. One thing I love about fluid art. It's different every time :)

[@pobeda-za-nami]

Очень красиво, классно, просто супер!!! Творческих вам благ и всего самого хорошего. Теплый и дружеский привет из России.

[@roxannedelport2244]

That is gorgeous and so simple and easy to do! 💗 Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to give it a go! Love to you all 💗

[@PaulaZF]

I immediately thought of Rothko or Pollock when you first lifted the canvas. Then the paint started running and it looked like your work. Beautiful as always. Thank you.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Clever and very BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@michelleelle4622]

Did you make any extra smaller canvases with the left over paint? If so, I’d love to see them!❤️

[@reneerupert5830]

WOW, WOW, WOW!! It was great to see the genius behind those creative hands! Will you sell me that creation?

[@vilsonboone]

This is an absolutely amazing technicque, I love it!
