Abstract Art

Yesterday I stopped by the arts & crafts store on the way to James' house and picked up a couple of canvases and some acrylic paints,

and we tried another project from my "Big Ass Book of Crafts"! This time, it was Drag Art:



You basically just dribble paint wherever you want on your canvas and drag it down with a piece of cardboard, and you really can't screw it up. It was a really fun project, messy, but fun! I bought 4 canvases, so the first 2 we did were our practice pieces, and the second set we did turned out much better! Now that we know some more techniques, James and I are probably gonna try it again!

We were talking yesterday while "painting" about how we never do art projects together, which it weird, because he's pretty talented in that department (he gets it from his mom!), and I'm not a terrible artist, although I have to admit that I am more "crafty" than "artsy". Anyway, I think we are gonna try to do more stuff like this together, it was really fun! Here are our finished art pieces:


Clockwise from the Top Left: My first attempt, James' first attempt, my second attempt, James' second attempt. I think the second set we did are way more awesome than the first, but I love them all!
