Canvas Time

Growing up, I used watercolor and colored pencils to draw. My grandmother did some oil paintings, but that was really long ago. So, I was never introduced to mr. canvas until recently. Thats right, he is mr. canvas to me. I took a couple of Art classes in high school, but having seen what talent was in my class (my classmates were super talented), I put away any thought of painting or drawing myself.

Well, I bought a canvas and figured for this project, I couldn't screw it up too much. Last week, I shared some beautiful Avalisa canvases with you. I wanted one for our baby's room a while back, but the price tag stopped me. Well, I found a way to DIY one. This is what I was hoping to achieve.

What I used:
-30"x30" canvas, pencil, dry erase marker or sharpie, projector

- First off, I printed my picture and used the projector to draw it onto the canvas. Here you can see a light sketch contour of the polar bears. I finished correcting my lines to exactly how I wanted it to look.

-I used my dry erase marker to go over the lines.

And here it is:

I was thinking of painting the background like in the original, but I am liking the white background right now. Not sure if I should paint it. Should I? What do you think?

Hope you liked my little diy project. Have a great day everyone!
