Grass Blade Paintings

Hi friends,

We have a fun and unique way to make art prints with grass blades! There’s no right or wrong way to make these either. You get to choose the colors, whether you splat or drag the blades, and last in which direction they’ll go. Check out our abstract prints below!

The Steps

 
  1. Cover your workspace.

  2. Wrap your grass blades with wire ties or a rubber band.

  3. Drop small amounts of paint in different colors on the paper.

4. Splat or drag the grass blades repeatedly across your paint and paper.

That’s it!

These came out so nicely and are sparking new ideas…
