There are many online canvas painting tutorials but in this DIY Easy Canvas Art tutorial I am gonna show you how I reproduced this work that I saw on the subway station in a super easy way.

This idea is great to make a statement art piece for your room on a huge canvas board.

Pin  this image on your DIY décor board now.

I have had this project in mind from the time I first saw these canvas arts on one of the train station tunnels here in Kuala Lumpur.

They are a series of 5-6 different paintings, but I could only capture these two. And as you can see the second art is the inspiration for my easy canvas art tutorial.

A lot people wonder what kind of paint to use on canvas, well I think for a beginner any kind of paint would do. I have worked with acrylic paint as well as fabric paint. Normally experts use oil paint but I would stay away from it because it’s difficult to deal with.

DIY Easy Canvas Art Tutorial

Supplies:

• Acrylic paints of your choice
• Canvas
• Basic stationary supplies
• White printer paper

You can say this is on the easy canvas painting tutorials for beginners. I used this link to download the silhouette butterflies then I just traced the butterflies on to the white paper by just placing it on my laptop screen. 😛 I did tweak in their sizes to make them the size I wanted.

Then I cut them out.

Then I traced the butterflies onto the canvas.

After tracing out the butterflies, I just took a ruler and drew out these random lines. Now its totally up-to you how you want your lines to be.

Next, just PAINT! 😀 But, be sure to be neat around the edges.

When done with painting, I drew a border around the butterflies using a black permanent border and then just painted them in red.

Point to be noted is, before finally painting the red I first tried blue by painting it on the cut out and placing them on the canvas. But, it was a big NO NO.

And finally it was done! Super easy right?

What do you think? Will you make one for yourself?
