Precut sheets of bubblewrap, each bubble filled with
paint
of a specific colour.
Upon receiving your Bubblewrap Painting Kit you may
wish
to begin "painting" right away. If so, lay the bubblewrap
sheet carefully on a hard surface, bubbles upward.
Using the patented Paint Pustule Pricker
supplied,
carefully
prick a hole in each bubble. This may be the most
destressful thing you have done in some time.
Once done, set aside the tool and select your canvas or
paper or whichever suitable surface you purchased from
us
in the original transaction (the paint formulation in the
bubbles is matched to the surface you chose).
Press the painting surface firmly and evenly against the
pricked bubbles, ensuring even pressure all over. More
pressure means thicker paint and a slightly "bolder"
colour
mix where colours meet.
Carefully remove the painting surface from the
bubblewrap
sheet and set it flat in the shade, to dry, face upward.
You may be able to obtain several impressions from one
sheet, depending upon pressure used.
For customised painting subjects, please provide
personally preferred pictures. Our paint pustule
prefilling program promises perfectly pixelated portrait
propagation.

I likes it.
Can I try it the other way around, with the sheet underneath with the bubble side down overtop of it?
I would like to see what splatter pixel art would look like. |

That would probably work too, [2fries]. I hadn't
thought of the "Jackson Pollock" effect that might be
achieved with this. |
|

[+] I didn't actually read the idea, but "bubblewrap painting" certainly sounds bunworthy. |

Your link seems like a coloured moire pattern,
[xenzag]? Is that a good description? |
|
| |
No - put a magnifying glass over a black and white half-tone in a newspaper. This has to be a monochrome image and not one composed of the moiré pattern achieved by overlapping screen dots of cmyk colour separations (cyan, yellow, magenta, black) |
|
| |
In monochrome halftones, the dots vary in size. |

I'm not sure why the bubblewrap needs to be 'pricked' before use - I would have thought it would be more fun to lay paint-filled bubblewrap on top of a board on the floor and then stamp on it. When you've finished, remove the bubblewrap and lay down a sheet of bubblewrap filled with a different coloured paint, and repeat. |
