Diy Canvas Wall Art

DIY canvas wall that I created all with different canvas techniques.

Posted by Ruthie T.

I used gel medium to transfer photos. I painted a couple with chalkboard spray paint and I painted one with my favorites...black and white stripes!

I used the tutorial for transfering photos with gel medium by A Beautiful Mess. It is spot on. The only problem is I noticed that at the end there was a slight "film" on the photo even after removing the top layer of photo.

Use a wood furniture cleaner that is oily in tecture and that removes the film perfectly! Here is the end product of doing a gel medium photo transfer!

I also painted a couple photos with chalkboard spray paint! I then drew some pictures onto the canvas with a chalkboard paint pen!

I am obsessed with black and white stripes so I used Frog Tape to section of a canvas to prepare it for paint.

I then spray painted the canvas with black paint (I used the chalkboard paint because I already had it.) I also spray painted the "T" with Krylon Champagne spray paint. I glued it onto the canvas with Loctite glue.

I also used the gel medium technique to take this octopus photo that I printed at Staples to apply it to the canvas.

I then lined them up to create the perfect gallery wall! For more info on this project please head on over to my blog! :)
