Directions to make DIY Art West Elm Hack

First, load your paint brush with black paint and paint on lines in a swooping, random pattern. This is abstract art so just go with it and try not to be too precise!

Use your brush on both the widest and narrowest side to vary up the brush stroke widths. Lightly brush on a bit of the paint at the edges of your painted ‘stroke’ marks to give the art some dimension.

The last step is to add some Glam with gold rub n buff to the edges!

For now, I propped one up in a little vignette on my buffet table.

(My son made the black and white art in the background – adorable right?)

    It’s nice to read a blog from close to home, With a son and his family in Ottawa, even though you are five hours from where I live, you feel like next door neighbour. Unfortunately Michaels is still an hour away 🙁
