Spray Paint Art

Here's a wall art project inspired by an article in Better Homes and Gardens. Click the link for their instructions.

I modified this a little to suit my decor.

Materials:
4 value pack canvases
4 cans spray paint (khaki, light gold - not the brassy gold, avocado green, and brown)
2 cheap packs of silk foliage
2 strips of wood (the size of yard sticks) to hold the canvases together

Instructions:
Spray the base color (khaki), then I lightly sprayed the gold. Make sure to spray the sides of the canvases.
Lay out some of the foliage (ferns and grass on mine, then spray second color (avocado green).
Lay out the rest of the foliage and spray the third color (brown).
Let the paint dry then remove all of the foliage.
I used the wood to attach my canvases by gluing and stapling the pieces to the top and bottoms of the canvases. However this also looks good if you hang them separately.
