DIY Wall Art

A few weeks ago, after searching for artwork for her apartment, my daughter could not find the right painting at a reasonable price.  So she decided to make her own.  She came over to our house and bought some canvas and some acrylic paint at the craft store.  The paint colors were chosen to match her apartment decor.

First she took a blank canvas and started sponging the first color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it was time for the other colors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

until the entire canvas was covered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, she took some black and white paint for contrast, and added some features.  In this case, a fleur de lis and some flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we set the painting outside to dry.  This is the finished product:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It came out really nice and is the perfect color scheme for her apartment.  It also did not cost a lot.   It inspired me to try to paint something too, I will let you know how it goes.  Have you painted before?

  1. Oh, it’s beautiful! I have never tried painting before. Maybe some day! :)

  3. She is very talented! I used to do some oil painting with my mom years ago but I don’t think I would be able to produce anything that was wall worthy.

  6. Looks delicious…and easy. This might have to be added to one of my favorite apple recipes…next to apple pie, of course :)

  7. Thanks for the very cool idea here–It turned out so great that I’ll have to file this one away for future reference!
