Create a mesmerising night sky using FAS Student Acrylic paint.  Get ready to let your creativity shine as we explore the process of painting a captivating night sky together.

Materials Needed:

• Sponge
• FAS Student Acrylic paints, Metallic Gold, Black, Fluo Yellow, Cool Blue, and Cool Red
• Brushes
• A little water
• Oil Pastels, White, Yellow and Blue

​

Steps:
Step 1: Creating the Background: 
Dampen the sponge slightly and load it with Fluo Yellow paint.  Gently sponge the Fluo Yellow onto the bottom corner of your canvas, as well as a bit in the top area.
Next, using the same sponge, apply Cool Blue paint just above the Fluo Yellow section.
Complete the background by adding Cool Red in the top corner, allowing it to flow down and layer over the Cool Blue and Fluo Yellow areas. This forms the base of our captivating night sky.
​

Step 2: Adding the Metallic Gold Stars
Make the Metallic Gold paint more fluid by adding a touch of water. Load a small amount onto your brush.  Hold your loaded brush above the canvas and gently tap it with either your other hand or another brush. This action will create flicks of Metallic Gold spots across the night sky, resembling twinkling stars.
- Allow to dry
​

Step 3: Adding Shooting Stars:
Grab the White oil pastel to draw a few shooting stars across the canvas. These stars will be the focal points of your artwork.
Enhance the motion and depth of the shooting stars by layering Yellow and Blue oil pastels over the White ones. Keep the direction of the stars' movement consistent to maintain a cohesive look.

​​Unleash your creativity and paint your personalised Abstract Art designs onto canvas tote bags with Fastex Fabric Painting ink. Make stylish, eco-friendly tote bags that express your unique personality.
​

Let's Get Started 
Step 1: Prepare the Bag: 
Cut a piece of cardboard to fit snugly inside the tote bag. This will prevent wrinkles, movement, and any ink bleeding through. Lay this inside the bag.

Step 2: Create a Frame: 
Using masking tape, create a frame along all four sides of the tote bag. Ensure the tape adheres firmly to prevent any paint seepage.

Step 3: Design Masking: 
You can use the masking tape to create abstract areas on one side of the tote bag. These masked areas will remain unpainted, forming a part of your design.

Step 4: Apply Fastex Fabric Painting Ink:
 Now comes the fun part! Dip your brushes into the Fastex Fabric Painting ink and start filling in the unmasked areas with vibrant colours. Don't worry if you get some paint on the tape; it will be removed later.

Step 5: Let it Dry: 
Allow your masterpiece to dry completely. This is a great time to clean your brushes and prepare for the next steps.

Step 6: Remove Masking Tape: 
Gently peel off the masking tape to reveal the beautifully painted abstract areas. Watch as your design takes shape!

Step 7: Repeat on the Other Side: 
Turn the tote bag over and repeat Steps 2 to 6 on the other side. This ensures that your bag is a work of art from all angles.

Step 8: Heat Setting: 
Once both sides are thoroughly dry, it's time to heat set the Fastex Fabric Painting ink. Follow the instructions in our video to learn how to do this effectively.
​
Feel free to experiment with colour blending, stencils, and layering to add your unique touch to the design.
