Project #172

Create clean lines using canvas panels in this abstract painting! This project also has an instructional video available!

Steps

• Step 1
  Choose a black Cut Edge Canvas Panel for the base and white Cut Edge Canvas Panel for the top design. This example uses two 8x10" panels.
• Step 2
  Use a ruler to draw a geometric abstract design on the back of the white panel. Remember it will be reversed when turned over.
• Step 3
  Number the pieces of the design. With a craft knife and metal ruler, cut apart the design.
• Step 4
  Using the numbers, turn over and reassemble the design on top of the black panel.
• Step 5
  Choose pieces that will remain the black of the canvas panel and set those pieces aside.
• Step 6
  Paint the pieces with acrylic and glue them in place, keeping the pieces as close together as possible. Use the pieces that will be the black spaces for positioning only; don't glue them in place.
• Step 7
  To finish, take the remaining unglued shapes and glue them down to create a third layer to the design. Notice the sharp, clean lines the cut shapes have in the design.
