Chevron Art

I love the clean lines of the chevron design and wanted to include a piece at home.  Here is how I made my Chevron canvas.

Step 1

A plain canvas with a coat of white acrylic paint.

Step 2 

Divide the canvas into even sections - I divided the canvas into 8 (horizontal)  I then cut out triangle template.

Trace the template across each of the lines.

 Step 3

Using painters tape, start to create the lines that will transform into the Chevron pattern.

I found the easiest way to get a clean sharp point is to overlap the tape at each point.

  Using the outline of the tape  - trim the tape to create a clean sharp point.

Step 4 - Now for the fun stuff 

I wanted to create a bright multi coloured chevron canvas and used a range of acrylic paint colours that i picked up from the Reject Shop for $4...

now start painting...  randomly apply the different colours.

Don't be afraid to overlap the colours. The canvas completely covered with paint. 

Step 5 

Let the paint dry and slowly remove the tape.......to reveal an original piece of art..
