Fearless Friday, Calm, Cool, & Collected

Remember this blank canvas

 

 

and this paint

 

 

It finally came together

 

 

 

 

I did the gray underpainting with Annie Sloan Paris Gray chalk paint

Then vertical strokes and a horizontal band at the bottom with Behr flat white wall paint

More vertical strokes with Devine Colors Twig acrylic paint from Target

 

 

I used Golden acrylics for the brushed gold band and squeeze bottle Golden gold and silver for the accent stripes

 

 

 

I laid the canvas on a flat surface while drying to prevent further dripping

 

 

After drying for 48 hours, I applied 2 coats of clear varnish

 

 

I had fun styling it in my dining room

 

 

I did a mock up with PicMonkey to show how it’s going to look in DD’s house

Her request was for a plain, as in “not busy,” mostly white painting.  I used gold & silver accents to coordinate with her gray and white decor and the paintings nearby

 

 

Breaking Waves is visible in the hall

 

 

Falling Gold is visible just around the corner in the dining room

 

 

I hope she likes it!

 

Be Fearless!
