Americana DIY Abstract Art

I recently became interested in abstract art. Like the DIY kind. I’m not a ‘real artist’ so as to not offend ‘real artists’ but anyone can create a basic piece of abstract art and get their creative juices flowing. It’s actually very relaxing to create a sea scape or other kinds of simple abstract art and these particular pieces I made are SO, so easy to do.
So get the supplies and go make your own DIY abstract art!
Supplies:
- Gold leaf and leaf glue
- Spray bottle with water
- Canvas and small paint brush
- DecoArt Americana acrylic paints in Night Sky, Dark Scarlet, and Cotton Ball
Also, you will need some drop cloths. Ready to get started?
Step 1: Set up your canvas upright on a chair with drop cloths underneath it to protect the floor and chair.
Step 2: Squeeze paint out of your bottles in a random pattern over the canvas. Try to evenly distribute the paint…or not. It’s whatever you want.

I might want to do a wall in this. It has paneling on it and it's ugly.

Have a question about this project?
Why does this stop at step 2? I know that it is kind of intuitive but maybe others may need a step by step tutorial ? Apart from that your piece is gorgeous
