Painting a HUGE Canvas (Pt. 1)

Hey guys! Today I am going to tackle a BIG art project, that I've never done before. I'm going to be painting on a huge canvas (well, 3 huge canvases actually, but the rest will be done in next week's video) and using it as custom decor in my new house! I am going to be attempting to do abstract art with this painting. Abstract artwork is my favorite style for home decor and I figured it would be the easiest to do on a large scale. As a beginner with abstract art, this was not as easy as I thought it would be, but I think it still came out really cool. I ended up using the palette knife technique and used a mixture of acrylic paint and joint compound (which is a way to get acrylic paint to look thicker). I definitely recommend trying it out if you want to make some DIY home decor.

Don't forget to come back next week to see the rest off the canvases I paint!

___________WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL__________

Hey! my name is Moriah (pronounced muh-rye-yuh 😂 ) and this is my channel....obviously. I'm 26 and like doing anything creative...and being snarky.....just a lil. I make a lot of decorating, painting and general art videos here. I'm obsessed with editing and adding lil bits to my videos, so if that's not your thing....oof you may hate this haha. I paint on squishies, thrift store finds, and other random things I pick up. I also love to draw, but don't expect anything too skilled, I'm not the best at that haha. You will also find occasional crafting/testing crafting kits on my channel which are always a hot mess. And even some baking (REALLY bad at that, but it's fun to try LOL).

I can’t imagine what your art room is going to look like. Cannot wait. I love that room it’s so cozy and the carpet is amazing

[emilylardie]

I love how in her new house she’s bringing her personality out of the art room and in to the decor!

[kawaii_gallery]

I love how Moriah is child friendly but she doesn’t act like she’s filming videos for 3 year olds. I’ve been watching Moriah for ages, before I was even signed into YouTube, and I’ve always loved her content. I’ve been waiting all week for another one of your videos. I love you Moriah!! ❤️❤️

Love from a small YouTuber🤍💕

Its crazy to think that right now in this video she is dealing with moving house and making videos for us every Friday all while taking care of a new born baby wow my respect and admiration for moriah grows every day

[heathaplayzofficial]

when Moriah showed a full-scale scene of the painting i was literally saying to myself out loud "WOOHOO MORIAH!!!!"
love you so much Moriah

[olivertwist]

I am soo pumped to see what your new house+art room will look like. The teal walls and white trim is amazing. The painting also goes in perfectly!!!

[meganolivier]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the time, money, and effort put into this video. Thank you so much Moriah 💖

[clover]

You should give a house tour! I would love to see it when it’s all finished! That room is honestly designed really well and your painting is a nice centerpiece. ☺️

[cschmidt]

I invision Moriah is like that one person in the arts and crafts store buying an entire isle worth of stuff 🤣 We love you and your dedication Moriah! ❤ Keep goin!

[MiaLeilani]

She talks to us like we are her firsts guests at her new house. Also I think the painting is gorgeous!

[b.smi]

Fun fact: it’s international left handed day… all hail Moriah!

[lonelyshredder]

Even though that’s just one room, it’s literally so cool. It’s such an unique design

[uR_lOcAl_fRoGgy]

Moriah. You are so special to me. I can’t believe you’re dealing with moving, a newborn baby, life things, and STILL posting for us every Friday. I love Moriah so so so much. ❤

[rachel..michelle]

Would you mind at some point when the house is finished giving a house tour? I understand if you or Jordan are not comfortable with that it’s fine! I just thought it would be nice to get to see your completed house! But if you don’t want to that’s fine! Love you Moriah!

[Foffgoogleistg]

It’s incredible I’m in love with this whole room design and the canvas looks amazing

[palvivarsani]

Let's appreciate the fact that she's moving and she's still filming. Btw i love your videos so much you inspire me to become a better artist like you :)

[yuriacn]

You're really inspiring I can barely draw but you help me push through
