Getting Started with Dylusions Paints

 

Before you start, gather your materials. You’ll need: 

  • Dyan Reaveley Dylusions Paints 
  • Paint brushes or foam applicators 
  • Stencils 
  • Mixed media paper or your chosen surface 
  • Water spray bottle 
  • Palette or craft mat 

Basic Techniques 

  1. Blending Colors: One of the best features of Dylusions Paints is their bendability. Apply a small amount of paint to your surface and use a damp brush or foam applicator to blend colors seamlessly. 
  2. Layering: Thanks to their quick-drying formula, you can easily layer different colors without them mixing. This is great for creating depth and dimension in your artwork. 
  3. Stenciling: Use stencils to add intricate patterns to your projects. Secure the stencil over your surface and apply paint using a foam applicator or brush. Lift the stencil to reveal a crisp, clean design. 
  4. Spritz and Splatter: For a more textured look, use a water spray bottle to spritz your painted surface, creating a watercolor effect. Alternatively, dip a brush in paint and flick it over your surface for a splatter effect. 

Project Ideas 

  1. Art Journals: Transform your art journal pages with vibrant backgrounds and layers of stenciled designs. Use Dylusions Paints to create mood-enhancing backdrops for your journaling. 
  2. Canvas Art: Create stunning canvas art pieces by blending and layering Dylusions Paints. Add stenciled elements and other mixed media embellishments for a unique piece of wall art. 
  3. Handmade Cards: Impress your friends and family with handmade cards featuring bold, colorful designs. Use stencils and paint techniques to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind greeting cards. 
  4. Home Decor: Refresh old furniture or decor items with a splash of Dylusions Paint. A wooden box, picture frame, or even a lampshade can be given a new lease on life with a coat of paint and some creative flair. 

Tips and Tricks 

  • Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try new techniques and color combinations. The more you experiment, the more you’ll discover what works best for you. 
  • Clean Brushes Immediately: Dylusions Paints dry quickly, so be sure to clean your brushes and tools immediately after use to prevent them from hardening. 
  • Use a Craft Mat: Protect your workspace with a craft mat or palette paper to make clean-up easier. 
  • Store Properly: Keep your paints in a cool, dry place and ensure lids are tightly closed to prevent them from drying out.
