Canvas was on sale at my local craft store and then I had 20% off as well! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a total of $14 for the two canvases combined!

I love your painting, the colors are so rich. What brand of acrylic paint did you use? I just started doing this project and I did all a sample of an acrylic paint that I bought and it doesn’t seem to be as rich as your colors.

Hi Jenn,
We got our pre stretched canvas from a local art store (Opus). If you go to an art store in your area, I’m sure they will carry pre stretched canvas in all sorts of sizes.
Good luck!

I was just wondering where you got the prestretched canvas from? I can’t seem to find it in the size you have, I also want a large scale design. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Rob, the canvas is canvas fabric stretched over a frame. Just go to an art store and ask for a “pre-stretched canvas” and they’ll help you sort through the different selections they have in stock. Most pre-stretched canvases are already primed white. If you get raw canvas, you’ll have to prime it yourself but chances are your consumer-grade art store stocks pre-primed canvases. We didn’t wait for the paint to dry. If you tacked it down well, the paint shouldn’t bleed through. You can peel it off while wet and still get a crisp line. You can always touch up any bleeding later if required. Hope that helps.

Great work. I plan on making the same thing, but have a few questions as I’m a bit art illiterate.

1) Is the canvas fabric or a paper of some sort?

2) Did you paint the entire canvas white (or whatever colour you want the lines to show up as) before laying the lines down?

3) When do you peel off the tape; when the paint has totally dried or while its still a bit wet?

Thanks again for the great idea!

Cheers.
