As I prepared my canvas for the CyberPointers <\/a>Stitch-A-Long (SAL)\u00a0 –\u00a0 Midnight Garden\u00a0 project<\/a>, I took a few pictures to share with you. This is a tutorial for painting a canvas with a tint or wash of color. It is an excellent way to distinguish,\u00a0and customize\u00a0your project when you use stitches that intentionally expose the canvas threads.<\/p>\n

The process is not difficult, and not very expensive if you already have some acrylic paint supplies on hand. The results will be quite suitable for most projects, and mistakes can be used for projects that fully cover the canvas with stitches. For certain specific designs, I personally use an airbrush to achieve more controlled color transitions or stenciled edges. And for detail work, I would hand render the illustration on canvas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
