Fall canvas - day 1 & day 2

Original idea was seen on pinterest.  However, instead of having a black canvas & some fall leaves I wanted to do something a bit different.  When copying someone its also a good thing to add a little of your own flare to the project.

1....start with a black canvas.  if you don't have a black canvas, use white & in my case I used acrylic black paint & painted it.  left it to dry over night.

2...to add my flare i wanted more color.  so i got a burgundy paint & a brown paint, also acrylic.  added the burgundy first, because i wanted that to be the background color & the brown to mute the brightness of it.  before the burgundy paint was dry i added the brown, more burgundy, then brown...and so on.

3...again, the original idea is then to add some "bling" to it.  but right now i really like the look of these 2 canvases, so not sure if i will add the leaves & such.  once they are dry, i will see
