DIY WITH ME!

Here is another DIY art idea!

As I’ve said before, whenever I search for art work for my apartment I never know what to pick. Most art doesn’t resonate with me. I like everything in my home to feel personal and handpicked. So I now do my own art work. It feels more genuine to me.

I decided to go with smaller canvases this time. I got 14x14 square ones. Since I loved my other spackle pieces I decided to do spackle again.

This time I picked grey. I picked up some black paint and I got to work.

I decided on grey because I already have pink and green spackle paintings and I wanted to something calmer for the bathroom of my apartment.

First, I mixed my paint in the spackle. That was the hardest part because the spackle is tough to mix around.

After I mixed the spackle I started painting. I first did one thin layer and then started adding texture in the second layer. I used a knife and a paint scrapper to add texture throughout the painting.

After that I waited for it to dry and hung them up! I loved how it turned out. It feels personal and they go great with my other spackle paintings. They were a perfect addition to my apartment and so fun to make!
