Paint It Yourself!


Paintings

I am experimenting with acrylic paints, and am pleased to show off my most recent finished painting, which is the one on the right above! Both paintings above have been done using a set where the picture is pre-printed onto the canvas, ready for you to paint the colour on with the acrylics - kind of like a grown up paint-by-numbers, without the numbers. I have found this a great way to get used to the paints, before experimenting with your own design. These were both fun to do, though I have to admit, the one on the left is still my favourite - the cakes look good enough to eat! It is also a good conversation starter, I have had many groups of people sat discussing which of the cakes they think looks best!

I like the look of this Cubist Pink canvas - I think my next project may be to try designing my own canvas, using this one as inspiration! I shall keep you posted.
