I love artwork. I love mixing and switching up the art displayed in my home. However, anyone who likes to do this, knows that it’s much too expensive to buy new pieces on a regular basis.
Finding art that speaks to your heart, that causes you to feel an emotion (whether good or bad) is a special gift that not many things can bring up in a person. Because of this, I created this roundup of Easy to Create Artwork. Each of these pieces below, I take you along on a step-by-step guide for how YOU can make your own easy art projects at just a fraction of the cost!
What main supplies are needed for Easy Art Projects and Paintings?
Dependent on the type of art you are creating, there could be many different types of supplies needed. If you are making artwork for kids, then you might need easy to clean-up supplies that are washable.
However, if you are making more advanced drawings or paintings then below might be some supplies you would be interested in.
Easy Art Supplies
Crayons and markers are great supplies for art beginners. They are easy to use and come in many colors. For drawing, pencils and erasers are essential tools. They’re perfect for sketching and making mistakes. However, after you master those basic art supplies, you may want to expand your horizon a bit.
Here are a few of my favorite supplies for easy art projects and paintings below.
Help, I always make a huge mess and can’t create artwork!
Sometimes it can feel so overwhelming to make a DIY painting for your home decor and even just starting can be intimidating. You may have a big blank art canvas staring at you and it feels like anything you do will be wrong.
I often times have to push back against that fear myself. My favorite trick for helping to just start when it comes to creating artwork and DIY canvas paintings is to sketch a little something on a piece of paper first.
If I can have a basic plan before I start putting paint to canvas, then I always feel a little more confident. Sometimes I even go so far as to use colored pencils or markers to see on my sketch to see if I like the color placement.
