Wall Art Ideas For You! [Background music is "Kansas City Shuffle"]

Note:
This is a Photoshopped layout - they do not exist in reality.
I have airbrushed several like these years ago but none since.

Typically, these are painted on canvas in oils or acrylics.

Easiest procedure:
[1] Tack one large canvas or coated paper over a large piece [say 3 ft x 4 ft for instance] of plywood or
hardboard; OR simply paint directly on 1/2" - 1" thick Rhino Board. [Rhino Board is simply thick Foam Core Board].

[2] If using canvas, place 1" strips painters tape vertically every 12" or so, depending upon the overall size of the base.

Paint directly over the tape as if it weren't there. BEFORE the paint has dried, remove the tape. The white
backing showing through is where you will cut and separate the painted pieces for mounting.

Of course, if using coated paper, the finished painting will need to be dry mounted or glued on Rhino Board.

[3] If you are not a decent artist, you could simply scan the Internet for HI-RES photos, download them onto a
disk and have them commercially printed as posters.

[4] You can also project picture and then trace outlines with a pencil and then paint the images.

After that, you can cut and mount them on a backing yourself [which will save you TONS of money].

You can also transfer images to the canvas or paper with an opaque projector [rent or buy one].

Good luck!

These are actually photoshop, right?

[HuckleberryHoshimoto]

@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani

For the most part, yes.

As stated, these are for ideas only - didn't mean to mislead or make you think that these were actual canvas mountings.

Years ago, I did several of this type of wall art when I was into airbrush ;they sell really well at art shows.

Mine were dry-mounted on Rhinoboard and then cut into sections after the faxt.

Nice done if, done this for real. Made my own graffiti, on silk, after that cut them, so the lines are matching, Great art, or is it photoshop?

[HuckleberryHoshimoto]

Yes it is Photoshop.

As mentioned, it's just for "ideas"; not from actual photographs.

Nope - It's just suppose to be an inspiration for the artsy-craftsy types out there!
