As a kid I heeded my Mom’s warning to not write on the walls, but now that I have long since moved out, I am finally experiencing what it’s like to write on my walls!! Well.. on my chalkboard wall that is.
Believe it or not, I completed this project for under $10! Here’s how…
Fine-point sharpies come in handy once again! This interpretation of this “rough seas” coloring page was a lot of fun to color, and was completed after two sittings. Coloring is a creative outlet that encourages planning and creativity. Share your coloring experiences with me
This coloring page was completed using only 5 colors (red, orange, green, blue, and yellow). I chose to use fine point sharpies for two reasons, they come in vibrant colors and they blend without looking streaky. You can find fine point sharpies at any craft store or online (click here)
After finishing a coloring page, I don’t always want to leave it sitting in the coloring book. When I have a coloring page that inspires me, I challenge myself to incorporate that page in a larger design for wall art. I started with this cat design that was done with colored pencils.
For this design I chose to incorporate the intricate cat coloring page in with a medium sized canvas that I purchased from Michaels Craft Store. I used acrylic paint to coat the background in a pastel pink color and mixed a light purple color for the “walkway” that the cat cut out stood on. Now I have a wall art piece that I can be proud to hang in my guest room. Get creative with your coloring pages and share your tips with me!
