Canvas Wall Art

Floral Wall Art

We FINALLY picked a color and finished painting our Master Bathroom. I love it! Its very warm and goes well with the tile as well as with our Master bedroom color scheme.

I of course started out browsing Pinterest for ideas. I wanted something simple but that went well with the colors in the bathroom. I decided to sketch this floral/sunburst idea. I ended up loving the idea and the colors I chose are perfect! The other great thing about is that if I ever want to change the color scheme in the bathroom or go a little bold, all I have to do is repaint the piece.

Here are some pictures along the process:

Picking a background color: I didn't want the same color as the wall I wanted it to offset it a little. So with the millions of paint samples from home depot I found a color that worked, I chose the very first paint sample.

Sketching in this case was a really bad idea I smudged a good part of the canvas and spent alot of time (after the project was done) cleaning it up with a rubber eraser and paint touch-ups. You think all those hours in an art studio I would remember this?

And now I share with you something no one else has!
