How it is done:

Cover the work area and gather the necessary materials.
First, prime the canvas frame. Mix acrylic paint in cyan and black to create a dark blue, then apply it to the frame using a wide, soft brush. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Next, individual generous splashes of Acryl Color paint are placed on the picture.
Then, using a squeegee, spread splashes of paint vertically across the canvas. If the paint does not spread sufficiently the first time, repeat the process. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Before using the marker for the first time, shake it with the cap closed for 60 seconds. Then, gently press the tip onto a piece of paper several times to activate the ink flow. Once the tip is fully saturated with ink, write on a test piece of paper.
Finally, accents such as ovals, stars, and dots are added with YONO markers.
