String pull art using a chain
1. Mix acrylic paint with glue
- Mix equal parts Acrylic Paint, PVA Craft Glue, Acrylic Gloss Medium, and water
- Repeat the process for your other chosen Acrylic Paint colours
- Evenly spread the white mix on the surface
2. Chain painting
- Dip your chain in another paint colour
- Drape your chain in a curved line
- Holding steady at one end of your canvas, slowly drag the chain off
- Repeat the process across the canvas until you’re happy with the design
3. Abstract art with bright colours
- Try dipping your chain in multiple colours for bright, colourful results
- Once dipped, lay it onto the canvas and pull, watching the colours mix as the design unfolds
- Layer the different colours for a modern, abstract style

- Feel free to finish with a Varnish to help your colours pop!
