Summer “Art” Wall Project

Posted on
  • We’re starting our bungalow refurbishment/ remodel next January and therefore thought it would be a good time for my daughter and I to use this part of the house ( that will be knocked down) to draw and paint whatever we want.
    No plans as such just take it as it comes with inspiration from anywhere. All suggestions and tips welcome.
    The street is quite conservative so we’re thinking bright 🌞🔥💥
    I’ve just ordered some free paint samples from here:

    Here’s the blank canvas

  • Wow, that’s a fantastic idea, and not something many kids get a chance at! If you don’t mind me asking, how old is she? Is it a “Mondrian-esque these are shapes and colours” or something a bit more?

  • She's 12 going on a lot older sometimes :0)
    Initially we were thinking of taping off areas and "filling in the gaps" however on a test area that was a big #FAIL.
    We're getting "artist paralysis" as in we don't know where to start so i think this weekend we're just going to start doodling on it with sharpies and see what takes shape...

  • Haha, so difficult without an idea of the finished project to just start! How about the two of you write down different themes that make her smile, pop them in a hat and choose one?
