You don’t need to have a flair for painting to make this easy abstract wall art. It’s custom, unique and adds a modern touch to your home decor. I bought a picture frame from the dollar store and I wanted to add a cute print inside but instead, it just sat empty for months. It was finally time to put it to use. Best of all, this easy project is super budget friendly!
I got my inspiration from this Anthropologie pointilism wall art. It’s a modern canvas art piece that costs $700. It has such a simple and modern design but you know I wasn’t going to spend that much money on my home decor. I wanted to see if I could make something similar, that was on a budget.
You’ll Need:
- Picture Frame
- Paper or canvas
- Black Paint
- Flat paintbrush
Easy Abstract Wall Art
This entire thing cost me $4 to make. I bought the picture frame from the dollar store, opened it up and just flipped over the paper that was inside. You can use canvas or card stock but I kept this so simple and just used the back side of the paper that was already inside the picture frame.
I went back and forth between green or black but I always end up choosing black (my favorite color). But this is such an easy art DIY that you can remake it for any season and with any color.
Remove the backing from the picture frame, remove any extra paper and flip the paper it came with over.
Pick the size of your paint brush depending how big you want your brush strokes to be. Dip one side of the paint brush with paint and make a stroke from top to bottom.
Continue on with the strokes until your page is fully covered. You can make them as large or small as you want, you can put them close together or far apart.
I really like how they were turning out! I added more paint to my brush and went back over the spots, this time starting from the bottom and sweeping the brush up.
Wait for your paint to dry and put it back in the picture frame.
I leaned my abstract wall art up against the wall and it was complete. I can’t believe I waited so long to put art in my frame. This abstract wall art was so easy and budget friendly. Plus your brush strokes don’t have to be perfect and you can make any shape you want.
If you make your own abstract art piece let us know! We would love to see it.
