My First Three Canvases

After I successfully painted the letter "S" I decide to be brave and paint a small canvas. It was the same concept as the letter "S", but in a canvas form. I wanted to do 3 canvases to hang over Sofia's crib. The stencil designs I created were inspired by Sofia's crib bedding set. To start off the first canvas I began to paint it in a soft gray color. Then I stenciled the pattern design onto the canvas and painted it in white. Lastly, I painted the letter "S" in the middle of the canvas in white. I was really proud of what I had accomplished, I recreated the process for the letter "P".




After completing the first canvas, I wanted to use a similar concept, but at the same time make something slightly different. I started out by painting a new canvas in hot pink. I stenciled the letter "V" and the pattern design onto the canvas. Then I went back to color the pattern design in color white. After I finished, I felt something was missing. Again looking to Sofia's crib bedding for inspiration, I noticed the cute bird design and decided to incorporate it onto the new canvas. I proceeded to draw the bird, then stenciled the pattern on it. Afterwards I painted the bird in pink. The end products were so pretty, I was really happy with my work. I hope you enjoy them too!
