I got this idea off of Pintrest and tweeked it a bit. The original idea shown there was the paint cards attached to a wall, however it was in a uniform pattern. (I think the person lived in an apartment and it was their way of adding color to the wall without actually painting it.)
So, I just decided to do it in collage form with my favorite colors in full range from dark to light.
First you need to go to every paint store you can to collect your samples. It's best to get 3 or 4 cards of the same color if you're going to be doing a larg area like I did. My canvas is 24" x 48".
I made the mistake of cutting all my cards up. In retrospect, I should have not done this until I was ready to actually glue them on the canvas because it would have been easier to go from dark to light on the same color card.
I've pictured this before it's actually all the way done. I just got too excited and couldn't wait to post the picture here, but there are a few tiny "holes" where the canvas is visable. I also need to fix the dark purple area as the transition is a bit patchy and doesn't flow gradually enough for my eye.
But, all in all...I like this project and i'm going to do another one soon.
