How to make Cheap, Expensive-Looking Framed Canvas Art!

Me too.

I really wanted a piece of modern, minimalist black and white art, and just kept coming up short! (Or actually small. Everything just seemed so small!

After! Black and White, Modern, Minimalist Framed Canvas Art!

So, while I was out in my warehouse, I noticed I have a bunch of large framed canvas art (that I'm not super in love with) and decided to take the plunge and create something that I love!

I mean- it's black and white. It didn't seem like I'd have to mix colors or anything!

So, I pulled this dandy one out! I actually bought it off of Facebook Marketplace for about $15. Its 3'x4'. So, pretty large. And I just loved the gold wood frame. Don't you?

I got started by taping off the frame, applying some texture with drywall patch repair, and then letting loose with some Black (SW-Limousine Leather) and White (SW-Egret White) latex paint in eggshell finish.

I was instantly smitten!

Don't you just love the possibilities of all this knowledge?? I mean seriously. You could make a textured canvas and paint it all the same color and use it as a back drop for another piece of art.

Where do you like to find your "project pieces" from?
