Modern Pastel Art


This art piece is a super simple DIY that if even I can do it- YOU can do it!  I created mine with pastels, according to the #CreativeBuzz theme for this month. 

Supplies: Canvas
Paintbrush 
Colors of your choice & a neutral shade

 Start by randomly dotting your canvas with your paint in small little globs. 
(You can always add more, but taking away is harder!)

 Starting with your neutral color, spread into your canvas up & down.

Then, go color by color & do the same.  
To add to the blending of colors I didn't rinse out my brush in between colors!

 



Blend blend blend! Once everything is spread, step back and see what color you want more of, layer color on colors, or let dry and come back to add more dimension.


That's it! Really, you can't mess this up because it's kind of supposed to be messy. Isn't that great! So go create a fun spring piece or something you can display in your home all year long!
