  1. Step 1 Acquista delle tele nuove.
    You can buy them for a few euros.You can start with a 21x26cm canvas.Choose a canvas that is taped on the back, not the front.Also make sure it's tight.
  2. Step 2 Aggiungi i glitter alla tela.
    To do this, you need a thick layer of acrylic all over the canvas, in a single color.Acrylic paint dries quickly, so you may need to keep a water sprayer handy, or simply add water to the paint.When you've finished painting the entire canvas with acrylic, sprinkle the glitter on the canvas so that it sets when the paint dries.Glitter sticks best when the paint is neither too dry nor too wet.
    • You can spread the glitter with a glitter tool or a spoon.Fill it and move it gently to drop a few glitters at a time onto the canvas.
    • You can also paint just a section with acrylic, add glitter, and then proceed with a new section.This way the glitter will distribute more evenly.
    • When you're done distributing the glitter, smooth the surface with a pencil and shake the canvas to remove the excess.
    • Wait 24 hours for the glitter to dry well, then proceed further.
  3. Step 3 Dipingi i bordi.
    When the glitter is dry, use a brush to paint the edges of your chosen design onto the dry glitter surface.Choose an acrylic in a color that contrasts with the base.
  4. Step 4 Dipingi lo sfondo dell'immagine.
    Paint the background outside the image, so that the outer surface remains glittery.
  5. Step 5 Aggiungi un riempimento alla superficie di glitter.
    Paint the inside of the image using acrylic.You can create as many patterns as you want, with a large or thin brush.You can paint circles, add details to a face, or create entirely new images.
  6. Step 6 Aggiungi un secondo strato di glitter.
    When the first layer is dry, you can paint in glitter over the same areas again, using this paint a different color.You can also lighten these parts, to obtain a less uniform and deeper final result.
  7. Step 7 Dipingi sopra il tuo strato glitter iniziale.
    When the two layers are dry, use a solid color to completely cover the first glitter layer.You should still be able to see the glitter, but the surface will be completely covered.
  8. Step 8 Rinforza i bordi.
    Go over the inside of the edges, on the glitter side, to underline the contrast.Use a thick brush with black paint for this step.Notice how a person's blue eyes can turn black with this little reinforcement.
  9. Step 9 Fai asciugare la tela al sole.
    Wait at least a few hours.If you haven't added glitter, you don't need to wait 24 hours.
  10. Step 10 Aggiungi altri strati di glitter.
    For a finishing touch, repeat the steps with glitter in the background of your design.Choose another color to give depth to the design.You can paint the entire background, or just a part, to create a new image, for example to add hair to a face.After 24 hours, shake or brush off excess glitter again.

Advice

  • Use simple drawings - the details are added later!
  • Let the glitter and paint dry for 24 hours before moving on to the next layer.
  • Use acrylic paint - it dries quickly and stops the glitter inside.
  • You can always add more glitter later, so don't worry about covering some of it up.

Warnings
