Let's start with German blogger Lydia from Pudel Design. She made her own artwork by painting corals on canvas. The artwork sure looks sophisticated. Don't you think?
She started off with two blank canvases and painted them a few shades darker than her wall. Then with the inspiration pieces in front of her she free styled her coral in pencil and painted them red.
To add some dimension and shadows, Lydia applied white, then brushed on a coat of clear to give her artwork sheen. And she not only made her own artwork, she made the frames too, using styropor that she cut to size and hot-glued on the canvases. Lydia makes it look easy to make your own artwork!
The next DIY artwork comes from Heidi, The Craft Monkey. Make your own artwork with a canvas that you don't use (or like) anymore, cover it with burlap and start creating! Heidi found some clip art online that she printed out, then cut out to make stencils which she traced onto the burlap with a sharpie.
Once drawn out, she took some acrylic paint and just started painting. In her own words, "Just plain, flat, 1 dimensional, 1 color, easy, peasy!"
Are you inspired to Make your own Artwork?

Creative and inspiring art ideas.. The burlap canvas looks great. So do the colours on coral painting. Thanks for hsaring these fabulous ideas.
this looks so great and therapeutic to devote time to making a very own masterpiece. I might have to wait til the semester is over to give it a go but that octopus is right up my alley.
Really lovely. I just need a bit of courage :)
My head gets inspired, but my hands don't follow along. Things that seem easy to others, just aren't for me!
Hm, very inspiring.
Oh my...we are on the same boat, always wanted to try but never did.
Oh maybe this year:)
Thanks for this inspiring post.
And I already have some canvases and paint, great motivation Maya! ~Lili
