Galaxy Paint Pouring Canvas
I chose to do a Galaxy Pour Painting. I’ve always wanted to try pouring paint art, but was too intimidated. Luckily, Crayola’s step by step instructions made it so easy and fun!
Supplies Needed:
- Crayola Washable Paint
- Markers
- Paintbrushes
- Canvas
- Contact paper or removable vinyl
- Disposable cups
- Craft sticks
- Water
Quick Tips
I used glitter tape to line the edges of my canvas. Also, if you want a more intricate shape, consider using a cutting machine and removable vinyl.

How to Pour Paint without making a mess
To pour the paint without making a mess, make sure you lay a protective covering. I used butcher paper. You can also use a garbage bag or plastic.
Also, make sure your cups are large enough to hold your paint and pour slowly.
Finally, when adding water to thin out your paint for pouring, do not make it too watery. Add a small amount just so it runs smooth.
Paint Pouring Techniques
The paint pouring technique I used was centering my canvas on top of my cup. With the cup tightly held to the canvas, I flipped it over and laid the canvas flat. Then I pulled the cup straight up.
I then carefully picked up the canvas by the edges and tilted from sided to side until the paint completely covered the canvas.
