DIY Art with Acrylic Paint and Letters | * View Along the Way * I knew I could recreate the look with a few chipboard letters on a solid-painted canvas – and a few other bloggers have done just that. Or, I recreated a different chipboard letter art piece like this which you can check it out here, or click here to see some other easy DIY art I made! P.S.: If you like this post, you might like my canvas letter art. Or maybe you just CAN do anything?ĭon’t forget to pin this pic to use for inspiration later! So, am I the only one who gets hypnotized by Michaels and Joann into thinking that I can do ANYTHING? Tell me that’s happened to you. Now I have to decide what to do with that other canvas… and also where to hang this one… You can’t really see them too clearly, but they’re there, just telling you to chill out and let God be exalted, you know?Īnd that’s my little pinterest-inspired art project. I just kept throwing paint on the canvas and squinting at it a lot, and also holding my thumb up to it like real painters do, although I don’t understand the purpose of that, until it looked like this:Īnd then I realized that I kind of like the raised letters and didn’t want to take them off after all. And that I’m wearing a beret or something very painterly. And that I have my canvas properly set on an easel next to a window overlooking the french riveria. Pretend like there are no toys or stray vacuums in that photo. Took it back inside after an agonizingly long five seconds of letting it dry – I had to knock this out during nap time! Time was of the essence! – and started playing with PAINTS! You don’t need a photo of that, right? Cuz I don’t have one. Then I went outside and spray painted the whole thing white. My initial plan was to stick them on, paint over them, then remove them, so they served as a stencil and revealed white letters beneath them. I laid out my chipboard letters on the canvas and stuck ’em on using their adhesive backs. Just be still and be quiet and let God do his thang.” (That’s my translation.) I wanted to keep it simple and short, so I went with “Be Still and Know.” I like that part of the verse, because it’s like: “Hey, chill the crap out and relax already. I decided to use words from this Bible verse: “Be still, and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” -Psalm 46:10. (I didn’t even realized that I’d bought a twin-pack of canvases, not just one, so there are more art projects in my near future.) I picked up some paints, a pack of chipboard letters and a canvas and headed home, all inspired and high off their secret craft-store air. Just hand me a brush, y’all! I’m about to create a masterpiece! The plan was to keep it solid and simple - but once I saw that aisle of acrylic paints at Michaels? Suddenly I was PICASSO! I knew I could recreate the look with a few chipboard letters on a solid-painted canvas – and a few other bloggers have done just that. (According to my currency conversions, in American dollars, that works out to approximately: much more than I want to spend.) It’s a pricey little piece you can pick up here for £195. I know this because the minute I step inside one, suddenly I believe I’m capable of completing all kinds of art projects I have no business touching, and suddenly I’m buying the necessary supplies to knit a designer dress (yes, out of yarn) or bake a cake shaped like a rocketship or something. This is a fact: there is something magical about craft stores.
