Supplies

Canvas

Gold Leaf Paint

Pink Wall Plaster

Apple Barrel Paint – Pool Blue

Folk Art Indigo Night -(navy paint color)

Step 1

I started with a 4 x 6 flat canvas board for this project, but any canvas board size will work!

Step 2

I painted the whole canvas with one coat of the pool blue acrylic paint.

Step 3

I put equal parts of the Indigo Navy paint and water in an old spray bottle. I squirted about three sprays with the square bottle in different parts over the canvas and hold it upright, so it would drip a little bit to give it a cool effect and then laid back down to dry.

Step 4

I took some pink plaster just on my finger and made one line down and one line across to make a simple cross. Don’t worry about this being too perfect. The whole fun part about this project is that it’s abstract which makes it look so interesting and unique!
After I did made the plaster cross, I wiped excess off my finger in different parts over the canvas to give it some different texture.

Set it out to dry and as it dries, the pink will turn to white. This is when you know it’s ready to paint and move onto the next step!

Step 5

I took the gold leaf liquid paint and a medium half inch paintbrush and brushed the textured parts with gold leaf liquid paint.

You can also paint any raised dried plaster and paint those gold as well.

I left some of the plaster white just to add some more color and dimension to my canvas. Once you have it to your liking, you are finished. I love the way this turned out!

The rough weathered, but truly unique feel of this cross painting, symbolizes the journey of Christ’s day- This such a beautiful and perfect gift for the Easter season and time of year!! Jesus is the reason for “every” season.✝️

Happy Crafting!
