Pinned & Tried: Triple Canvas Whale Art {low cost project}

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!
cool and easy canvas idea. could apply to several things

 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!
