Avoid the hassle of mixing colors – instead, use the shortcut of paint chips to achieve the desired effect of a rainbow.

One of the most frustrating parts of art is the range of colors available: you never seem to have enough colors. I have encountered such an issue countless times when trying make a colorful painting and my ability to blend colors seem to fail me. However, this project gives us the solution: paint chips. In this project, images will be cut out of the paint chips and glued on the canvas, making artwork that screams color.
Materials:
- Canvas
- Paint chips
- Punch-out
- Hot glue
- Pencil
- Ruler
First, create a grid for your artwork by determining how far apart your shapes should be. Cut some shapes using the punch-out out of printer paper and test different distances. Make marks on the edge of your canvas at the increment you decided. You may have to add a little more distance to the bottom or top of the canvas to center it.
