Bring the beach inside with this easy beach art project. It only takes ten minutes to make!
Supplies Needed
- 10″ x 10″ white canvas
- Dark blue craft paint
- Light blue craft paint
- White craft paint
- Tan spray paint
- Cheap 1′ paintbrush
- Jute
Make your beach art project
- Lightly spray the bottom couple inches of your canvas with the tan paint. I did the edges as well on all steps so it will look finished on the wall.
- Dry brush dark blue paint on the top of your canvas using a wavy motion. Use less and less paint to add waves further down.
*only get paint on the tip of your brush to avoid big blobs on your canvas*
- On a plate or palette, mix a little light blue paint with your dark blue the add a few waves below the dark blue. Overlap a few into the dark blue and a few to mix with the next layer.
- Add light blue waves below the medium ones.
- Add a few white or even lighter blue highlight waves.
- Let dry, then wrap jute around the bottom and tie.
Enjoy your beach art project!

This turned out gorgeous! I love your step by step instructions!
Thanks Heather! It was really fun to make.
I love your instructions! They remind me of one of those paint and wine classes, the ones where they actually explain painting in terms I can understand and repeat, lol. I think I could actually make my own version with your tutorial, so thank you. I love painting but I’m just not naturally artistic. Crafter yes, artist no.
Thanks Marie! I’m glad it’s helpful. It really is an easy project.
Gosh I love the beach! This beautiful project makes me want to go back!
