Modern Art for 10 bucks


Looking for an inexpensive, classy home decor idea? Well I have just the perfect solution for you!  Here are some examples of cheap paintings that I created using minimal products.  All you need is a little creativity and about ten bucks.
-Pre Painting-1) First you'll need a blank canvas or two ( you can get a 12x19 board at Big Lots for $5!)
2) Next you'll need a few small bottles of cheap acrylic paint (I chose 3 different colors with the bottles being about a dollar apiece)
3) Lastly you'll need a paint brush (easily worth a quarter) and any cutesy stamp of your choice (mine was a dollar at Hobby Lobby)

-Painting-
1) Now all you have to do is paint! Start by painting the whole canvas with one base color
2) Next you'll stamp one of the other two colors in a grid like pattern covering the whole canvas leaving a few spaces for the other color
3) Then in those 3 or 4 random spaces you will stamp your last color for a little modern twist. (I used my boldest color for the random stamping to make it stand out)

And there you have it! A piece of modern art for around 10 bucks!
