Artwork:
These paintings were completed this week for a local hairdresser. She
has recently renovated her salon, and has used black, charcoal and an orange
feature wall. These pictures are to hang directly behind the reception desk.
She wanted to keep the decorations as cheap as possible, so I found a way to do these large pictures for her for very little money! I thought it might be a good idea for small businesses who don’t want to spend lots of money on artwork, but want their premises to look funky!
So I used MDF! These sheets are each 90cm x 60cm, so three of them make
the artwork quite large. Each of these panels only cost $3.50 each from
Bunnings, which means that this whole artwork cost a total of $10.50!! I used
paint that she already had (leftover) from re-painting the salon.
The most expensive part of this artwork was purchasing the Command
adhesive picture hooks, which were $6.32 for a pack of 4. I purchased three
packets of these.
Again, the designs are very simple, and are in a similar style to my
Simple Orange Bottles Canvas and my Knife-Fork-Spoon Canvas for an Entertaining Area.
I had to do about 4 coats of the orange, as the MDF needs a few coats
over it so that the colour is right.
Then I simply worked out what I was going to paint, I decided on
scissors, a bottle of product and a comb. Perfect for a hairdresser!
Once the
orange paint was dry, I just painted the designs on freehand. This style will
always look funky – you really can’t go wrong with it, no matter what your
items end up looking like!
I’m looking forward to delivering these to the hairdressing salon this
week.
Happy creating!
