I searched Pinterest for a bit before I came across Tanya's painting and it hit me : why not just do that?
I started with my blank canvas and then painted it with a coat of primer I had on hand.
Following Tanya's instructions I wet my brush and then just did a few light strokes starting at the bottom and brushing up.
I went back again for a few tiny touch-ups, but liked it as is.
I really like how it looks with the rest of the gallery wall. Most everything there is muted and I think this fits in well.
I think I like Tanya's version better. I mean, everything she does is awesome. And, hers is bigger. But the more I look at mine the more it's growing on me.
I look forward to doing more paintings. It was a lot of fun and didn't take that much time.
