You guys know I love collecting all different forms of art and am passionate about discovering up and coming artists, but I noticed there's one type of artwork missing from my collection... a geometric piece. I decided it would be fun (and simple) to attempt a large-scale, black and white geometric art DIY.  You can really get creative with this one because it's the easiest painting you'll ever make! Here's what you'll need to begin... Supplies: 1 Large Canvas (I used a 30" x 30") Thin Painters Tape Art Sponge Black Acrylic Paint Ruler or Tape Measure Pencil Image may be NSFW.

That's all there is to it! It's probably the easiest painting DIY I've ever tried. It took all of 30 minutes. If you're looking for something with a little less line and structure, check out this large scale, abstract canvas I completed last year. Image may be NSFW.

Doesn't it look great with Jacqueline's curved, feminine architecture? I'm definitely on a DIY kick lately! I've just been having a lot of fun creating.
