Acrylics

As of late, I've become really interested in acrylic painting. I've been doing watercolors for years and I am ready for a change. So this is the first of many pieces I've painted. First lesson I learned when painting on canvas- always have a plan for what you're going to paint. I thought I would be some free form artist that would just paint and let the canvas speak to me. Ummmm... that method doesn't work for me. Having a plan truly is the best. Either way, I really liked the final product even when there were points when I was second guessing myself.

DIY Painting on Fabric

I've been scouring etsy for a cute romper or dress for my 17th month old daughter. I've come to the conclusion that I can make exactly what I want for a fraction of the price. I plan to paint one of my daughter's dresses that I bought on sale at Target. I guess you can call it a Target hack. Just to be smart, I'm practicing on some old dish towels. Always always always practice first! I was inspired by Anna Rifle to paint colorful flowers. I'm pretty happy with it considering it is my first try. I'll post another picture of dress when I'm done.
