Staging: Easy Contemporary Animal Art

Have fun and save money! You don't have to be an artist to make art to stage your home to sell or just to decorate it for your own enjoyment....

How To Use Up Leftover Paint:

Step 1. Take a photo or fifty of an animal. (The horses who lived down the road from us in WI probably thought I was some sort of weird horse paparazzi.)

Step 2. Set aside about half a bottle/tube of white or other light colored paint. Pour the rest of the paint in the middle of a canvas and stir it together with your hand until it is mostly blended, then smear it over the surface of the canvas. You can wear a latex glove if you are some sort of neat freak.

Step 3. Use charcoal to create a hazy silhouette of the desired animal.

Step 4. Using the remaining white/light paint, draw an abstract/graphic looking outline of some of the animals features inside of the silhouette.

That should answer any questions for anyone who has ever wondered about my artistic process!
