Today marks the start of a new mini series I’ll be doing once a month called Easy Art in 1.2.3 : Diamond Patterns.  So many times I see art work that I fall in love with, however some of them can really get expensive.

I have had such a fun time creating all kinds of different and new art work!  So far, I have made

• Abstract Diamonds
• Diamond Patterns
• A Geometric Peach
• Gold Foil Doily Art
• Watercolor Gem
• DIY Large Scaled Art
• Pepper Painting Technique
• Spackle DIY Art

Most of the paintings that I am drawn to are more loose, colorful and geometric.  Guess what?  That kind of art is SO EASY to recreate!  I’m really excited about this mini series.  I am going to take you step-by-step, on how YOU can make your own art work for a fraction of the cost!

What supplies do I need to make easy art with abstract diamonds?

24×36 Canvas
Five Acrylic Paints:
-2 shades of your “pop”color
-1 accent color
-2 metallics
Angle Brush Set

What are the steps to painting easy art?

**The key to this painting is making a diamond paper template!  I roughly cut out a 2.5″ diamond and used it for the basic pattern.  I’m not one for rulers and perfection, so this cut out helped keep all my shapes close to the same.**

1. I started with my main paint color, the lighter blue.  I started at the top of the canvas and painted diamonds all the way down.  Then, using my accent blush color, I painted a single zig zag along the blue diamonds.

2. After one line of diamonds and one zig zag was painted, I painted another line of vertical diamonds. I continued this pattern until the entire canvas was filled with light blue diamonds and blush zig zags.

3. Next, I used the darker shade of blue and filled in each light blue diamond.

4. Then, I used the gold metallic, the light blue again and the final metallic, a silver paint.

I could not have been more pleased with how this art piece came out.  It’s the perfect look for our master bedroom update.

I love how the gold and silver paints give a slight glimmer at the right angle.

From start to finish, I completed this art piece during my kiddo’s nap… so it took about one hour.

I hope you give this simple technique a try!
