  Step 1

  Take an old canvas, I picked this one up from a charity shop. Cover it with a layer of white emulsion (latex in the USA)

• 

  Step 2

  Start painting a base layer. I had a little blue spray paint left over from another project so I used that, along with a little silver.
  Don't worry if it looks a little messy at this point.

• 

  Step 3

  Add more paint, I found a fairly dry brush and lots of up and down stroke gave a nice effect. The a band of grey across the middle added interest.
  Just keep going adding more paint in colours you like/have.

• 

  Step 4

  Let it dry every now and again and take a step back to look at your art. Then add more where you think it needs it.
  In this photo you can really see the dry brush effect. You just use a little less paint on the brush.

  Step 5

  Here I was almost finished, the blocks of colour were just a little more vivid than I wanted so I went over the whole thing with more white.
  Now all you have to do is hang you art on display.
