Use a finishing spray to seal the canvas by spaying it evenly over the canvas including the sides. This is why my stickers were a bunch of different colors!
You can reuse the letter stickers for a similar project, so stick them right back on the original sheet. If you’re having trouble removing the stickers, use a pair of old tweezers. Once the canvas is fully dry (about 1 hour), peel off the stickers. I only painted the top of the canvas so that the edges of the canvas are gold, but you can paint over the sides if you prefer. For this sample, I used this flat white color. Spray paint the canvas over the letter stickers with your background color. Be sure that your stickers say “non-permanent” or “repositionable.” Stick the letters on the canvas. I used these Vinyl letter stickers that I found on Amazon. Now it’s time to place the letter stickers on the canvas. Since my quote is 3 lines, I used 3 inch border on the top and bottom and placed the stickers one inch apart. Measure the canvas to ensure that the quote will be straight and centered.įor my sample, I used 2 inch letters on an 11 x14 inch canvas. Plan out how you will lay out your quote. Be sure to paint the sides of the canvas too if you want the sizes the contrasting color, as in my sample. You want to choose colors that are contrasting so that the quote will be easy to read. Amazon has great prices on certain colors otherwise the cheapest price I’ve found is at Home Depot). For this example, I’m using Rust-Oleum Metallic Gold Spray Paint. Spray paint your canvas with the color you’d like your letters to be.
#WATERCOLOR AND SPRAY PAINT CANVAS ART HOW TO#
The Gesso Primer from the MTN PRO range is both useful and easy-to-use, especially for smaller formats.In this DIY project, I’m going to show you how to make a canvas quote painting using spray paint. This property prevents the color from being absorbed by the canvas threads, while simultaneously preventing the appearance of possible transparencies that are a result of the fabric lacking density. This aerosol contains the same substance that canvases are prepared with: gesso, a white liquid that serves to close the pores of the fabric. It is a transparent varnish for acrylic paint and oil paint to protect both of them against external factors that may damage them, such as humidity, dust, grease, or pollution.įor the moment, we just have a single product in this category, the MTN PRO Gesso Primer. On the other hand, we have the Canvas Varnish spray, available in three finishes: glossy, satin and matte. On the one hand, we have the MTN PRO Matte Fixative, a transparent lacquer spray paint with a matte finish that, as its name suggests, is used to varnish and fix pastel, charcoal or watercolor drawings made on paper. When it comes to fixatives specifically designed for fine art, we’ve developed two different models within the MTN PRO line, each specially adapted to the varying needs of different mediums and surfaces. Pencil or charcoal fixative spray and varnishes for paintings On the other hand, we have gesso paint primer, a type of product whose task is to prepare the surface to be painted, creating a base that maximizes the performance of the paint and the strength of the colors on the canvas. The products in this MTN PRO range that is focused on fine arts have functionalities that can be divided into two basic categories: on the one hand, we have varnishes and fixatives, products created to protect and preserve the condition of the works, and/or to add an aesthetic finish that the artist wishes to add. So, the primers and spray varnishes from the MTN PRO range by Montana Colors are the most practical and effective tools thanks to this aerosol-powered system. Again, the ease of use and storage adds to the fact that no additional tools are needed to apply the products. It is precisely for these tasks that the aerosol format offers advantages over traditional methods. Unlike painting on walls, when we create paintings in the studio, it is equally important to prepare the surface to be painted as it is to protect the final product.
