Canvas and Supply 101

Canvas art is made to last, which makes it very popular for art reproduction on a personal and professional level.

If this is your first time trying canvas art, here I some basic information to help you and your daughter get started:

• Canvas art is a highly versatile form of expression.
• You can find canvases at any major craft store.
• Sizes range from mini to large.

Most types of paint work on canvases, though acrylic or craft paints are some of our favorite go-to’s. However, canvas art is not limited to paint as a medium. You can use other materials, such as embroidery floss and fabric, to create original art that you and your daughter love.

Portraits

Why not try painting each other’s portraits? It’s exciting to see how your daughter will bring you to life on the canvas. Alternatively, self-portraits are another route to take. Either way, they’ll look wonderful beside one another on the wall.

Seasonal Landscape

With fall just around the corner, you and your daughter may want to try your hand at fall foliage. If you’re each doing a painting, you two can make both canvases into one scene. Talk about an incredible piece of collaborative art! Conversely, working on one piece together is just as fun.

Cross-Stitch

Do you and your daughter share a favorite song or quote? Try to cross-stitch the words onto the canvas for all to see. Cross-stitching is a very beginner-friendly medium that’s simple once you get the hang of it. You also can’t beat the cost of embroidery floss.

Fabric

For an out-of-the-box idea, try gluing fabric onto the canvas. This technique allows you to spice up your home décor. If you let your daughter pick out her own fabric, she’ll be able to add a nice personal touch to her bedroom.

Art lends itself to many forms and materials. With some of these most unique ideas for canvas art in your arsenal, there is nothing you and your daughter can’t do.
