Visual attraction.With canvas and paintbrush, you can create a significant change, for instance in your living room. "Let the large canvas be a focal point in your interior decoration," the sisters suggest. Here, pastels and shapes are in focus.
Simple effect.In its serene simplicity, this canvas with line art contributes to both unfolding and dividing the room.
Graphic motif.Here, four smaller canvases in contrasting colours are combined into an interesting, graphic piece.
One colour.A wall-mounted canvas in a simple colour tone makes a big difference for the room as a whole.
Eye catching.By adding the blue surface, you can create a strong and distinctive expression.
Abstract.Create your own personal work of art with this artistic edition.
The home is truly, dear Anna…

A bit of preparation.Even with the simple shades and motifs, it can be a good idea to make a small sketch first to ensure that you will get your desired expression.
Contrasting colours.Combine different contrasting colours which accentuate one another to create a lovely display.
Play with colours.With different colours you can create an ocean of expressions. Choose the colours that suit just your style.
Create joyful surroundings in your interior décor by adding charming colours.

Colours never go out of style. But for the sake of renewal, they can be replaced once in a while.

Simple and powerful.With this simple canvas you can let the room be shaped by lovely colours, and you can opt to let one strong colour stand out.
How to.Start by priming the canvas, and then paint the stripes. Here, a soft pink is used for the background and a deep green for the stripes.
Organic shapes.Create a light and welcoming piece with a simple motif. Again, at first the canvas is primed, and afterwards you can paint simple, organic shapes with your favourite colours. Here, soft pastels in calm nuances are used.
Tip.Use a lot of paint and achieve extra depth in the canvas. As shown here, by use of a paintbrush and a thick layer of paint, you can create an interesting drip effect.
With paint, paintbrush and a dash of creativity, dear Anna…
CLARA
… A world of opportunities emerges, sweet Clara.

Artistic paint splatter.Bring creativity into play, and create an abstract and vivid work of art. It all starts with a collection of paint blobs.
How to.Start by creating a lot of blobs, both smaller and larger, in the colours of your choice. It can be a good idea to make a few tests before you transfer it to the final canvas.
Make the effect.Pull a wide piece of cardboard, a swab, or a ruler down over the paint blobs so that they merge together lengthwise.
Artistic effect.The paint now creates artistic, powerful stripes which merge into an interesting, abstract motif. Have fun!
