When I was on my quest to have a gallery wall around our flatscreen in the master bedroom, I gathered artwork from around our house and started laying out different scenarios.
I was all set except for an empty spot above the tv.
It needed to be something simple but I couldn’t find anything around the house- so next best thing? Make it! I considered word art/ an arrow but nothing was looking right to me.
Then it struck me that I have a couple little horse details in the room and a sketch of one might just be what I was looking for!
I had a blank canvas (go buy one at Hobby Lobby/ Micheals/ JoAnne) and started out by painting a black frame around the outside.
I didn’t want it to look perfect so I just quickly brushed on some black craft paint that I had on hand.
After that I used an old horse I had on a wooden compass and traced around it. If you don’t happen to have a random horse sitting around for this- you can always find an image from google images and print it out- which opens the possibility up to really anything!
Once it was traced- I simply took a pencil and quickly colored it in! I didn’t want it to cover the space- so I just quickly did sweeps with the pencil so that it would just abstractly form the image.
This was one of the easiest projects I’ve done to date and also one of my faves! I love it up there and it only cost me probably $3 for that matt because I snatch up a few when I see them on sale.
Hope you are having an amazing day!
