Dried Up Paint

             Paint is one of my most favorite things in the world. There are endless possibilities when it comes to using it, and there are endless amounts of forms of it. It is beauty that is waiting to make its way onto display. Well, I recently have been fooling around with paint, (I've made quite a large mess) and fell in love with a certain form of paint. Dried up paint. Not like when you paint a picture and it dries, but when you pour a thick dot or bulge or random shape of paint onto a surface and wait for it to dry. Once it dries, it is strechy, and feel really cool. I do this mostly on tin foil, because if you use paper, the paint will make the paper soggy and it might break. Anyways, I highly recommend doing this beacause it is fun, and you can make a lot of stuff out i=of the dried up paint. All you need is tin foil and paint. just put a piece of tin foil flat in front of you, and pour a big glob or small glob onto it. Maybe make a design, but you need good old globby paint, otherwise it will make it seem like a regular picture. Van Gogh used this technique when he painted so that his paintings would have texture. Anyways, moving on. You should wait one to three nights for the [aint to dry depending on how much paint you use. You will know when it dries because it looks dry, but every few hours or so, you might want to try lightly touching the paint with a pencil to check. Once it is dry, you can keep it on the tin foil, or peel it off. But it is so much fun to play with!
