For this project, I took painter's tape to my white
canvas and in the sections between the lines of tape, used a paper towel with a shade of
either red, orange, or yellow and blotted it. It gave the paint some texture/a
spongey look and feel. Once I finished painting, I peeled back the tape, hence the white, "beam-like" pattern on the canvas. My final major step was, using my best handwriting, I wrote "Make YOUR own" but traced stencils for "sunshine." Then, I
filled in the letters using a black paint pen.
If you don't have stencils of
your own OR neat handwriting, you could take the time to print
your own letters using a font you like on Microsoft Word or a similar program
and then printing and cutting them out for tracing.
Pretty sweet stuff. You should
try it sometime.
:)
Love,
Susan
