Simple Canvas Projects

I have made MANY canvas painting in my life, some I love, some I cover with paint immediately after I paint them! [LOL] If you have an empty space or if you simply want to brighten your room with a little sparkle or hint of color, canvas art is a MUST! it's so easy to do!

First you get your materials, DUH!

A canvas, or many what ever you want. @ any craft store, they usually have good deals at all, either 50% off or BOGO. Also, get some paint, acrylic works fine, doesn't have to be expensive, I always get those .97 ones and they actually work just as good as those other brands. Third, get some brushes, also could be any type, doesn't have to be those super expensive ones either!

GET INSPIRATION! ITS OKAY, i repeat, IT IS OKAY to go to pinterest and google some inspiration, That's what those websites are for. I get most of my inspiration on pinterest, but sometimes I google here and there. It is totally okay to copy something or get then idea for a certain canvas and then make it your own with your unique touch!

SOME OF MANY [some are unfinished]

Tribute to CHICAGO! 

Google or Pinterest a place near and dear to your heart, or simply where you live. Make it your own, use glue, get dirty. MAKE IT YOURS!! [this is not done yet.]

Take art classes!

I took an art class when I attended college, also there are MANY great art class places that are popping up literally EVERYWHERE! Take one, they are fun, take it with a friend and bring wine for a GREAT time!

RANDOMS & STENCIL

I used a stencil for the pattern at the bottom, and to be honest just paint anything you like, if you see a symbol, a heart, a music note, a flower, honestly anything as the focus of it, USE IT!!!! It will be great promise. [U see my jewelry box there? nice huh?]

MORE INSPIRATION! Use paper and google pictures. seriously these both are from pinterest post I had seen, and I decided to execute! 

Whatever it is you decide to do, make sure you have FUN with it! Relax and get to painting. :)
