Painted Canvas Art

I am really thrilled with the way these turned out. At a concert at my church, the choir sang this song. I just couldn't get it out of my head. It's a huge blessing and hope that we can know that, because of Christ, there is far better for us beyond this world.

The background: I just got three canvases that were the same side and one color of blue, yellow, and white paint. I made a stencil for the chevrons out of construction paper. I would tape it on to ensure that it does not move. However, by the second canvas, I was just free-handing the pattern. I started with the original color, then added a bit of white with each next stripe. 

The words: Once the background dried, I used paper stencils from Joanns to do the letters. I soon discovered that they were too large, so I free-handed some of the words instead of the stencil.The paint was pretty thin, so I had to paint over them a few times.

That's it!

Happy painting!

Love,
Susie
