8. “Splatter Paint” Cherry Blossoms

Splatter painting is a great way to release stress. By flicking paint onto the canvas, you create the airy, scattered look of cherry blossoms falling in the wind.

  • How to Make: Paint a dark, branchy tree first. Dip a stiff brush into watery pink paint and “flick” the bristles over the branches. The random splatters look exactly like delicate blossoms.
  • Items to Make: Stiff bristle brush (or toothbrush), pink and brown paint, and water.
