Arts and Crafts

We recently changed our bedroom colors to dark gray and yellow and have been lacking on art work so I figured I would undertake a little project. Several months ago I came across this painted dresser on  

 Designsponge.com

So I took the design and translated it onto a canvas. I started with a blank canvas (I think it was 40''x28'') from Michael's.

I started by painting a base coat of mustard yellow.

 I then taped off even diamonds across the canvas.

Next I painted the entire canvas gray.

Peeled off the tape and had these perfect gray diamonds.

 Then I took some gray paint and feathered the edges of the diamonds.

Then I used a dark purple to paint smaller diamonds inside the gray ones.

And finally I used a magenta to add a third diamond inside the gray and purple.

And I was finished! Tada! New art for the bedroom.
