Step 1

Open the canvas. Using a heart cut from self adhesive vinyl, position the heart in the centre of the canvas. I did use a tape measure to measure each side to make sure it was central. Remove the backing paper and stick the heart down firmly to the canvas.

Step 2

Using red and white acrylic paint mix multiple shades of pink paint.

I initially mixed 3 different shades of pink paint. Once I started painting the canvas I had extra space so I then mixed another lighter shade of pink paint to fill the extra space.

Step 3

Using the cotton buds dipped in the paint, start making small dots of paint on the canvas. I started with the darkest colour first and ended with the lightest shade of pink.
