Vintage Decor: Animal Drawings Canvas

Hello my friends! For today's project I must admit that I do not know much about hand drawing, I actually am very bad at it, like if I want to draw an elephant, a cow looking animal would probably come out of my attempt.  So I must help myself with already beautiful drawings that I can find in old books.

This time I wanted some animal drawings on a rustic canvas to decorate my wall.  Horses and Dogs are my favorite animals so I found in my Dover Publication Books collection two beautiful images that I could definitely use on this project: 


Two small canvas wall art using the transfer technique.  

 


And arranged on a dresser with few other decoration pieces, it gives a new life to a boring corner.



The process is really simple, here is what you'll need:

Materials:
  • Black and White Animal Drawings (mirror photocopy/print in a toner base/laser copier)
  • Blank Canvas 
  • Light Brown Acrylic paint
  • Brushes
  • Mod Podge as the image transfer method
  • Water

Step by Step:

1.  Paint the Blank Canvas with light brown colors, leaving darker the edges only


2. Cut the drawings, glue it to the canvas and wait overnight.    Remember to mirror the images before printing to have the right orientation of the drawings. 



3. Remove the white paper off the canvas softly and little by little with your wet fingers until all image is revealed.   Frame it if you wish, I left mine just like that, as a rustic touch.


Voilá! in 3 easy steps we get nice black & brown vintage looking wall art canvas to decorate any space in our house or perhaps the kid's room.

    At the point when utilized in the best quality, it is tough and hardened. The shades utilized in oil sketches are unique, which ties well with the oil that is being utilized as a base. Walnut oil or Linseed oil will work the best in this sort of painting.Fineart

    In this beautiful world, diamond car deserve respect as much as people. They have as much right to live as us, human beings. It is our world, but it is their world too. So, this planet belongs to all creatures living on it. Yet, many are against this notion, since they believe that animals do not have feelings or a soul.

    Similarly, it doesn't generally take particular expertise to buy a tangle, glass, and casing unit and produce an eventual outcome in a carport or office. I keep up, however, that if an advanced craftsman or picture taker just realized how to extend canvas they would have the option to create an excellent end result for far less expense than a customarily outlined piece.

    Any wild animal is an unwelcome guest in your ho use or residence. They can leave foul odors, make you uncomfortable, wake you in the middle of the night and embarrass you in front of visitors. Animals in your living space might also cause significant health issues. Animals carry sundry illnesses like rabies which can simply be broadcast by a single bite. Sicknesses can be broadcast when humans ignorantly breathe or consume animal urine or crap. Rodents and other little animals are also regularly carriers of transmittable bugs. An accumulation of animal pee can make contributions to the growth of mold, which could be the cause of considerable respiration illness. Animals could also cause serious property damage. Infrequently animal infestations lead directly to other infestations. https://elevage-oie-tricard.com/maps/
