I have long wanted to give my hand at making some fun textural art for my home. I made a Clay Ring Wall Hanging which brought tons of movement. And then I recently made a unique Yarn Art project, which brought color and texture. And lets not forget how fun trying out the Baking Soda paint trend is!

How to make DIY textural artwork?

This is such a simple project. Be sure to watch the video for my step by step images on how I made my pepper art.

Start by painting your canvas with acrylic paint. I was painting over an older paint project. Next, sprinkle pepper onto your canvas. I continued to layer on paint and pepper in a very loose method. I wanted some of the paint to be covered up and some to shine through.

After the paint and pepper layer dried completely, I went back with my melon orange paint and added a few abstract circles to the painting.

I loved this quick afternoon project! I loved it’s messy organic feel. The little bits of blue popping out from the edges of my previous painting are just extra fun.

And how fun is this $7 thrifted bookcase? I recently gave it a coat of spray paint in this soft sage green color and it’s amazing how much it has been elevated. I love that about paint.

There really is not much I love more than creating my own art work. I have a huge blog post all about making easy art and it includes all of my tips to creating art.
