Rebecca Flint Instagram – How to make your own art prints look like real paintings 🎨 I love celebrating art at home, but I always think it’s missing the texture and aged look of original old paintings… here’s how I recreated it at home 🏡 1. Find a canvas print, or order one online of a painting that you like 2. Find a frame that you like, that is smaller than the size of the canvas you have – charity shops are great for this 3. Unhook the canvas from its wooden frame, and staple it into the backboard of your chosen frame – make sure it’s tight! 4. Use a clear heavy acrylic gel medium and a small brush. Make sure the medium is extra thick on points of detail – they’ll look very cool when it dries clear! 5. Once it’s dry, use an ageing varnish to add some colour and shine back in 6. Staple your canvas into its frame, hang and enjoy! Just call me crazy redd 🦊 💸 I used @lefrancbourgeoisofficiel ageing varnish and @wearereeves liquitex matte super heavy gel medium #homedecorhack #canalettoandvenice #canalettovenezia #canaletto #neobaroque #baroquearchitecture #venicebiennale #18thcentury #historical #historylovers #18thcenturyart #1700s #neoclassicism #venicelife #venezia #veneziaunica #biennaledivenezia #historyofart #historyart #arthistorymemes #arthistory101 #artdiy #diypainting
