I've been mildly obsessed with Pinterest for a little while...albeit later than most of the population. This art project has been showing up on my pin boards and I thought it would be a super easy task to add to the new house. Bonus: It only cost 5 bucks for two canvases via Hobby Lobby!
We started out with the basic canvas. I have no clue what size it is. I just bought the size that looked visually large enough but not too large. (Scientific, huh?)
From this point, the project was free and took a total of an hour...tops.
Essentially, you take some painters tape and place it randomly throughout the canvas to create a geometric pattern.
The process is pretty idiot proof!
The accents in our great room (the room where the art is going) is a green so I used some of the leftover master bedroom paint and brushed it on. I made sure to brush the paint away from the tape so as not to push it underneath the strips. I tried to move quickly so that I could remove the tape before the paint dried. It is essential to do while it's wet.
I ended up doing two pieces with the second being very orderly and structured. I'm not ready to show the final locations but here is a sneak peak of the finished pieces.
Once all the final touches are complete, I'll show you the placement of my fool proof art project.
Looks good T... I am anxious to see it in your living room!!
