Project Ideas. Visit our store for a range of ideas you can use in your classroom. We are always testing and
experimenting with the products. The images above were created using Chromatemp paints. The Fish and Abstract
pieces illustrate both the covering powering and marking-making retention of these student paints. Mosaic Cat is
painted on recycled cardboard, cut into tiles, and glued to a cereal box. Leaves started as a colour mixing
experiment to fill a page with green by mixing yellow and blue. When dry, a bold shape was cut out and both the
positive and negative shapes were pasted side by side. Good paints can make other simple materials come to life
and produce lovely artworks. We hope you will share your students’ work with us.

This mural, by Tim Heimdel, is on the Old Strathcona Performing Art Centre. It is one of the many projects The Paint spot has supported with advice, manpower and materials.
Tips for Mural Painting
Call us for advice on mural painting and varnishing. You may wish to consider good quality paints that are lightfast (fade-proof). We offer excellent volume discounts on Golden as well as Stevenson and Tri-Art. (Stevenson and Tri-Art are both made in Canada). Call for our colours charts and price lists.
How much paint do I need?
A general rule of thumb: 1 Liter (32 oz) of paint will cover about 100 square feet (give or take what is used for colour mixing and possible waste on palettes). We recommend extra white and yellow as students go through a lot of these two colours for mixing and highlighting.
How long will the mural last?
Using student paints means the mural may fade after only a couple of years. Artist quality paints will last 10 years or more – even on outdoor murals. An isolation coat is usually applied over the paint before varnishing. In the events of graffiti, pollution, or mechanical damage, the painting can be cleaned, the varnish removed, and then reapplied without harming the painting,
How much will a mural cost?
After assisting hundreds of mural projects, we’ve discovered that the average mural costs between $1.75 - $2.75 per square foot depending on choice of colours and number of isolation and varnishing layers.

Soda Ash
Also known as sodium carbonate, or washing soda, soda ash is a mild alkali that promotes the chemical reaction between Procion MX fiber reactive dye and cellulose fiber. Soda Ash is necessary to activate and "set" Procion dye. Please wear gloves when distributing dry powder as the alkali pH can irritate skin.
1 lb $3.96 80666 5 lb $9.56 80669
Synthrapol This is a mild soap specifically made for removing excess dye. When dyeing, not all of the dye will react with the fiber being dyed. Excess dye, therefore, must be removed to prevent backstaining. Rinse the fiber as thoroughly as possible, then launder with one tablespoon per load. Synthrapol will suspend and carry the excess dye from the fiber making colour more
laundry stable in the future. 8 oz $9.20 80681 32 oz $23.96 80678
Dye-Na-Flow Dye-Na-Flow is a free flowing, concentrated liquid colour that behaves like a dye or watercolour. It will spread on fabric until it is thoroughly absorbed and evenly distributed and the colour is fixed by ironing. Every fabric provides a different flow or spread of colour. Dye-Na-Flow is magical on silk. It also works on any type of fiber, natural or synthetic without altering the feel of the fabric.
Dye-Na-Flow is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for silk painting, airbrushing, stenciling, batik, salt technique, sponge painting, wax resist effects, paper art, and marbling. The dye is also super for sun dyeing on fabric and paper. We stock the primary colours in 8 oz containers.

Oops! Acrylic has dried on my brush. To remove dried, hardened acrylic paint, try soaking the brush in a little ammonia window cleaner such as Windex. Be sure to keep the wooden part of the handle above the water line. The ammonia with soften the acrylic paint making it easier to remove by scrubbing with a stiff scrub brush.
Help! My brush has lost its shape! If you have a synthetic brush that is bent or warped out of shape, here’s what you do: dip the brush quickly into boiling water. The rayon hairs will soften back into their factory shape.
