I had pinned this adorable canvas art awhile ago and now that the kid's bathroom is being updated, I was ready to do it! It was my first time trying out paint and canvas and it was alot of fun!
I started by opening up my pin on the computer screen so I could look at it while drawing free hand with a pencil on the canvases.
I then mixed three basic colors I wanted to use to match the colors in the bath and make it customized to my taste. I added a little brown to the gray, a little blue to the turquoise and a little red and white to the yellow.
After drawing, I painted and then went over it with a second coat.
And this is how it turned out! I LOVE it. It's super fun for my super fun kiddos and it makes me smile every time I walk past their bathroom.
This project cost me $1.50 for one bottle of the acrylic paints. Everything else I had on hand or was given to me. Score!
Check back next time to see their new updated bathroom!!!
