Valentine's Day Painting
6:53 PM
A couple of days ago my best friend and I got together and put paint to paper. We were feeling creative and, Valentine's day being a great excuse to redecorate, we decided to make some 'love' inspired pictures. We were kind of just playing around, so they turned out a bit messy, but I think the ideas are super cute and make wonderful February room decor (just maybe paint them on a canvas instead of paper like we did if you want to hang them up).
Both of the drawings we made are Pinterest inspired and super easy to make. My best friend started out by cutting out a heart and dotting the outline using an eraser. She used an almost pink red, and continued to fill with dots the inside of the heart as well.
An almost essential part of painting (or doing basically anything really) is good music. As you might know from my 'favorite apps' post, I'm completely obsessed with 8tracks. It lets you create/listen to playlist based on genre/artists/moods/activities and anything else really. I put in "happy" and "acoustic" (because that's what I was in the mood for) and found an amazing playlist.
For my drawing, I started out by spelling out "love" with tape on my paper. I then continued by randomly applying splashes of color everywhere. I stayed in the pink/red color-scheme but you can do this with any colors/word. After the paint has dried, just remove the tape!
One of my New Years resolutions was to start painting more and it's definitely something I've been doing and I absolutely love it. I am by no means good at it, but it's super relaxing and a great way to spend time with friends and away from technology. It's very therapeutic in a way.
I had an amazing day with my friend, and I would really recommend getting out some paintbrushes the next time you're with your bff. I was in a very casual and comfy outfit. A plain black top from Brandy Melville, my favorite printed and loose pants from Forever 21, and my new shoes from H&M.
