 Hey guys, all right, so I have these three little small canvases from Michael's either these are the artist loft brand and they are Six by six so they're not an expensive brand of canvas by any stretch and Sometimes when you buy the lesser expensive canvases there, they're a little bit loose or wrinkly on the top So what I do is I spray the back of the canvas with some water and then turn it over and start my painting Usually doing this when this as this dries it tightens up the fabric on the canvas in this case I sprayed it with water on the back turned it over Painted the front with a coat of white paint and as it was drying it tightened up very nicely and you can no longer see any Wrinkling so that's how I started this project as you can see we have three of them So we're going to try to create a triptych I am intrigued by the idea of mid-century modern abstract style paintings which have been Obsession with designers all over the internet For kind of for a while now, and I'm going to take a bunch of my stencils from my stencil line and I will Try to remember to list them all below, but I'll for sure have the Etsy store links so you can look and We're going to try to create something Yeah Google mid-century modern abstract painting and you'll see what I mean I'm going to use sort of ocean-y inspired colors blues Sandy colors a little yellow some pale greens Maybe even a pale pink. I've got some options here. I've got some modeling paste So we're going to see where it goes. I'm going to fast forward through most of it and I'll be back Okay, that was a lot of fun. Um at the end there you saw that I um held up to the camera a favorite castile brush pen This was one in a dark gray rather than black and this is warm gray number 274 um I can see doing this again. This was a lot of fun Uh, I really enjoyed myself and Getting the stencils on there Semi perfectly is always a challenge. You saw me touching up a few edges and corners That being said, I love the way they turned out. I'm going to let them dry and let it go I can see me doing this again. I hope it gives you some sort of different ideas of things you could do This would make an interesting journal page, by the way So that might be my next thing is doing this on a journal page So anyway, give it a try. See what you think google mid-century modern abstract art and see what you what pops up and what inspires you to create Um in your art studio or your art room or in your journal or whatever All right, that's it for today Don't forget to go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it Check out the video description for relevant links and don't forget to like share and subscribe And I will see you in the next video.
