Textured Ghost Art
Create a spooky scene with this textured Halloween canvas featuring a gathering of ghosts. Set against a deep black background, the raised, dimensional ghosts add eerie depth and charm to your seasonal décor.

Let's Get Started

STEP 1:

A)    Paint the canvas black. Let dry

B)    Use sandpaper to lightly distress the edges and surface of the painted canvas.

C)   Your canvas is now ready for the ghosts!

STEP 2:

A)    Create the textured medium by mixing 1–2 teaspoons of glitter into ½ cup of white paint. Stir in ½ cup of glue, then add 1 cup of baking powder and mix well.

STEP 3:

A)    Using the textured medium and a rounded spatula, create simple ghost shapes. Tip: You can also use a rounded piece of cardboard. About one-third of the way down from the top of the canvas, press the loaded spatula onto the surface and pull downward to form a ghost shape.

B)    Add a few more ghost shapes across the canvas next to the first one. Tip: Vary the heights and sizes of the ghost to add visual interest.

C)   Continue adding ghosts until the bottom portion of the canvas is filled.

D)   Allow the ghosts to dry completely.

STEP 4:

A)    Use the end of a paintbrush to dot black paint onto the ghosts for eyes. Let dry.
