Negative: My Artwork
Positive: Vacation Memories
Something I love about canvas is that it’s so versatile.
Above is a beach inspired painting that I made simply by drawing “x’s”.
Since I
actually visited one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen, Waikiki
Beach, I decided to upgrade our artwork.
What you’ll need for this project:
A photo print (mine is called an engineer print; engineer prints supposedly are not meant to be printed in color to catch all details but I think it came out great)
rope detail
building in the distance
A canvas
Mod Podge and applicator
First I borrowed a canvas from a previous project Chic Canvas Art, since I didn’t need it anymore.
I started to cut the fabric around the staples and then
realized the staples just popped out if I pulled hard enough.
I centered the picture and allowed it to dry (about 10
minutes).
*** A note about bubbling: If you are looking for minimal bubbling, I recommend you use a harder backing than canvas such as wood, or do not use mod podge. In my experience, there are ALWAYS bubbles and imperfections when using mod podge***
I ended up using my fingers to smooth out the bubbling.
I put a layer on mod podge on top as well (Looks scary but it dries clear).
In about 30 minutes I had new artwork ready to hang.

Here are more of my vacation photos, just for you!
