Chevron canvas

SO I bought 2 blank canvas's a few years ago, and tried to paint an owl and a tree on one. The other I just left blank. Well I got the idea that I should do chevron on it. SO I started out with painting the whole thing white. Then I used painters tape to make my chevron pattern. I also learned to seal of the edges you start with the same color as the canvas. So I painted white along the painters tape on my canvas. I let it dry. I wanted one strip with glitter so I painted that one with turquoise paint and then put glitter on while it was still wet. I let that dry and continued to paint the turquoise on the rest of the strips. Once it was dry I pilled off the tape, and had to do a little touch up where the turquoise paint bled, but I love the end result!
