Art Snak: Color Scrapes & Scraps
This Art Snak is all about using what you already have.
We’ll scrape on the remnants of old paint bottles and tubes with an old card or scraper, let color drift and lift with water, and finish with loose, intuitive linework. It’s a playful, low-pressure studio session that turns leftover paint into something fresh, energizing, and full of movement.
It’s the perfect way to use up those last bits of paint while getting beautifully free in your art journal.
What’s Inside
Part I – Scrape & Spread
Use up the last bits of paint by scraping them across your page to build surprising textures and color fields.
Part II – Drip & Drift
Let watery washes and paint remnants move, merge, and settle into atmospheric backgrounds.
Part III – Scraps, Tape & Serendipity
Transform bits of dried paint, used tape, and stray marks into layered, expressive pages.

Play with smudging, lifting, refining, and responding—turning chaos into something intentional and full of life.
