Finger-Painted Canvases

January 2nd, 2007 by Candace

I have this bare spot above our patio door that I couldn’t decide what I wanted there. When I was cleaning out a spare closet, I found a new canvas I had never used and thought I would paint it and place it there.

So I gathered my paints, painted the base layer on the canvas, and then applied the other colors I wanted, using my fingers to swirl and paint and make my designs.

From start to finish it only took 30 minutes, and the total cost was about $7. And it doesn’t take a super-artsy person to pull this off, just someone who doesn’t mind getting a little paint on their hands.
