Aura artworks with Marabu DO IT Colorspray

How it is done:

• Prepare all materials. Thoroughly cover the spray area and protect the work environment from paint spray. For best results, spray outdoors or ensure adequate ventilation.
• Carefully remove the spray head from the DO IT can and remove the red safety valve. Replace the spray head and cap and shake the can for 2–3 minutes. Spray the can onto cardboard or newspaper first to check that there are no solid particles stuck in the spray head.
• First, spray the canvas with a base color. Hold the spray can 20–30 cm away from the canvas and apply the paint with even strokes. To achieve smooth transitions, gently fade the paint toward the center. Allow the base coat to dry thoroughly.
• For the second color, spray an oval measuring approximately 20 by 30 centimeters in the center of the canvas. Hold the spray can flat and at an angle to the canvas. Spray in short movements from the center of the oval toward the edge to imitate the oval's shape. Use a piece of cardboard to shield the edges of the canvas that are not to be covered with paint.
  
  Proceed with a third and fourth color for each picture, making the ovals smaller and smaller toward the center. Allow each layer of paint to dry thoroughly to prevent the colors from running.
• Now, cut the wooden strips to size to form frames for the canvases. Using the miter box, cut two strips that are 51 cm long and two that are 71 cm long for each piece of artwork. Cut them at a 45° angle so that they are mirror images of each other. The strips should protrude about 0.5 cm on each side of the canvases.
• The wooden strips are now glued to the sides of the canvases using hot glue so that they fit neatly together at the corners, giving the Aura artworks a subtle frame.
• Finally, let everything dry completely. Then, hang up the pictures and admire your work!
