Creative Surface Inspiration
| When it comes to choosing painting surfaces, it’s easy to get into a “surface rut” always picking the same ole surface each time we pull out our paints. The challenge is to break out and try something new. This delicious list of ideas is guaranteed to “kick start” your imagination. As you’ll see, most are easily found around the house, at a thrift store or garage sale, which makes experimenting less risky and more adventurous. |
