Shape Artwork
​​
A fantastic idea for some very effective artwork.
​
Use masking tape to lay out your patterns on canvas.
Colour each block a different colour.
While paint is still wet - remove the masking tape.
​
You could also do this with glitter.
​
Anyone would be proud to have this on their wall.
