Let's face it. Everything can be a canvas. I especially like painting on things. It's a challenge to see what you can fit in the space allowed and putting your special touch on an object.
Chairs are a perfect space to get creative on.
These chairs were kind of beat when I first got them. One was found on the side of the road, two were found at a local thrift store. Most thrift stores sell that odd chair cheap. A set of four might sell for more but one? Grab that deal!
These three chairs got the beachy treatment. First I did a coat of spray paint to give them an even white coat of paint. (Sorry! I didn't take before photos) I also had to reinforce the dog beach one because a leg was loose but that was an easy fix - I got my husband to do it. 😁
Next I started with the basic beach scene. Pick your horizon line. This cannot be in the exact center. It's always good to go a little below or above that center mark.
I think beaches are easy because it's basically horizontal lines of color. Blend the sky and sea and put on a beach. Ripple of water foam, maybe a palm tree or palm leaves. Done.
After the painting is dry I seal the chair with a waterproof acrylic sealer. Be sure to spray all sides of that chair to ensure good protection.
This is my foster failure Maggie Mittens admiring her silhouette on the Dog Beach chair. This chair will be donated to a dog rescue to sell in their thrift shop.Woof! Good dog!
