that's how i like my projects, short, sweet, and awesome-looking. this is a perfect example. we wanted a huge painting in the kitchen, and i went back and forth between ideas for it. different colors, images, techniques...etc. we settled on a silhouette of a stand mixer.

i got this baby done in 1 night folks. 3 hours and that includes drying times so that i could turn it and paint the edges! fabulous.

since it was such a big painting, i went to walmart and picked up a pint of the buttercream yellow color i wanted. it ended up being that i could've probably painted 10 of these with it but i know i can use the color somewhere else in the future!

i started with the silhouette contour (edges), and i painted little squigglies in the places that i knew would be filled in later on

TURNS OUT that me and ryan both really liked the imperfect lines and squigglies that i had planned to smooth out and "fix", so i instead left those, and only brought the background a little bit close to the shape instead of right up to it, so that the contour lines would still be visible.

THIS would be a fabulous way to get an interesting piece of art into your home! for the size, this is definitely one of the more inexpensive ways to get an original painting, and i could silhouette anything you wanted! THINK about it.
