To that extent, there has been room for lots of personality on the picture wall, which today contains much more than just posters. Photos, small ceramic works, collages - the list of possibilities is long. At Studio About, we love the personal touch, a bit of bias and room for color and diversity. Therefore, we would also like to inspire you to make personal works for the picture wall. With this guide, it's not that difficult at all, and we bet you won't even need to buy in for the project!
MATERIALS
- Freezer bag
- Water colors
- Brush
- Paper handkerchief
HOW TO: GUIDE TO UNIQUE ART
1. Prepare your substrate - we recommend using a single layer of plastic. You can cut open a freezer bag or use one side of a plastic shopping bag.
2. Unfold a paper handkerchief and place it on your piece of plastic. It does not matter that there is a pattern in the paper - it disappears when color and water are applied. If you want a more elongated shape, just cut a bit of the paper handkerchief.
3. Wet the paper - not so that it floats, but enough so that it is soaked. You can dab water on with a brush or possibly use a spray.
4. Now dab water color on the paper. You can keep it a single color or mix your favorite colors. Remember that watercolor loses some of its color strength when it dries. If you want a strong color, apply color well.
5. Now use your brush to wrinkle the paper - the work gets a more organic expression if you also push the edges of the paper a little and give it a new shape.
6. Let it dry for approx. 24 hours.
Then you are ready to put your unique work of art in a beautiful frame.
FRAMING WITH COLORS: TRANSPARENT ACRYLIC FRAMES
The frame can make all the difference when you frame your picture, and it's fun to experiment with different expressions and not least colors. Play with contrasts between frame and artwork or create a calm expression with tone on tone colours.
With the new FRAMELESS collection from Studio About, you get ample opportunity to be creative - both with art and your framing. The transparent frames in acrylic make it obvious to use the frame creatively - either with this small DIY art project or with collages, photos or fine posters.
