BUT(t), the plain canvas looks unfinished hanging on the wall and kinda screams DIY. Feel free to come see it IRL, and as always, please bring wine. The canvas is the perfect size for next to the front entry, which is also kind of the living room, and even though it is a giant naked butt it really feels subtle in person. I like the larger brush strokes in the inspiration painting, so I’ll be sure to use bigger brushes for my next painting You all said it was fine to take inspiration from other paintings in my Instagram poll, so looks like THIS IS NOT STEALING. I used this painting as inspiration and referenced it on my phone while I was sketching out Trudy’s bod. Then debate over whether or not she should have a head and add a braid. My painting process went like this: cover the birds with Kilz primer, slap a bunch of house paint colors on for the background, slap more colors on for the background and smear it around, wait for Trudy to emerge. Bonus, using samples and some leftover paint was a guarantee that the colors would go with things in my house. I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on new paints, so I pulled out all of the test pots of colors I have from my walls and house painting projects. The bird fabric was fine, but it didn’t really fit into my design plan for my house, so I decided to paint over this fabric with white as my own DIY canvas. I’ve been on a real “make all new art for my house” kick and after shelling out some cash for several blank canvases at Michaels (they were on sale, but still $$$), I found some old fabric I had stretched over a DIY wood frame a few years ago for my apartment.
