Inventing new art is the dream of many, but few artists have the patience to learn how to paint in oils.

There are many ways you can turn a bad painting into something a lot of fun and unique.

Trying things out on canvas is easy, and it’s something anyone can do. Instead of spending lots of money on expensive canvases and paints, try using old shirts, jackets or even newspapers from around the house.

You may have noticed that most of these projects require paint and brushes. You don’t need to splurge on expensive brushes for the various techniques; just use some old brushes from around the house or buy packs at an art supply store for very little money.

1. Create a chalkboard wall.

Your kids or guests will have endless fun drawing on a chalkboard wall in your kitchen, bedroom or living room. You can buy pre-made chalkboard paint from your local hardware store. Or you can create your own chalkboard wall from scratch by painting any smooth surface with a coat of primer and then covering it with several coats of chalkboard paint. Just make sure to seal the edges so that the paint doesn’t peel away over time.

Some people like to cover their entire walls with chalkboard paint, but if you’re not ready to commit, you can also add a chalkboard border around an accent wall. Once you’ve finished painting, let the wall dry overnight before you get started drawing.*
