I am speechless on how you make do with what you have. Your Picasso turned out fabulous and I truly enjoy watching your videos ❤️
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, Teresa!
I remember from art class and learning to "wrap your canvas" we used what is called Gesso.( I'm recollecting from 30 years ago). Guess it's like a primer for the canvas. Then paint your design.
Fantastic job!!!! I was a professional artist for many years, and I ALWAYS stretched my own canvases. Especially for custom commissions. If I may, you could invest in a nice pair of canvas pliers, from any art supply, and save your hands🤗
This is amazing. Shoutout to Kiva for preferring Lowes over Home Depot too.
Absolutely! Lowe’s knows what’s up unlike Home Depot.
I agree, I drive miles pass Home Depot to go to Lowes.
Thank you so much!!!!! Lowe’s is better for their political reasons. Also, they have better stock and the workers tend to have more knowledge.
What political reasons? Did something happen? Crazy CEO comments?
@@doyen86 I want to know too, in case I need to stop going to Home Depot. Guess I will be trying to find out but it would be nice to know what the issue is so I could look up the right thing. Did you ever find out?
Girl you have the "gift of gab"!😆 And I mean that in the nicest way. How you talk that fast, include so much info, and seemingly never do any retakes astonishing!! You're a real natural in front of the camera. Loving this latest project offering from you as well. Great job Kiva😍
Thank you so much!!
Yeah! Well done you two. Amazing solution for renter who is unable to paint a wall too....
That’s such a good point!!! Thanks for watching 💕💕
This is INCREDIBLE!!
Omg!! Thank you so much!!! I was so nervous to post it, so I’m happy you enjoyed it 😊.
How beautiful!! Looks very high end. You should add your signature in one of the bottom corners. That would be awesome.
Love it!!! Great job! Maybe a sofa table behind the sofa and that beautiful vase on your coffee table? A stack of books or a candle, Great 👍
Kiv! Wooooow, you rock! I officially crown you queen of DIY 👑 I didn’t think it could get any better than the kitchen remodel...but this is a close second 😃
Wow!!! Thanks so much! I have a second kitchen remodel coming soon!!!
The middle offset support is a really great idea.
That looks great! A tip before screwing in a screw, drill a small hole first it makes it easier for the screw to start twisting into a hole that’s already there.
This diy is EXACTLY what I need right now! I’ve been trying to figure out how to diy a large abstract for home
Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that!
Kiva, you inspire me so much! I had this huge wall in my living room and didn't know what to do with it. After watching this video I decided to be a little creative. I bought ready made canvas. I added texture with spackle, used leftover paint and stain from my kitchen remodel. I love how it turned out. I even added the picture lights you recommended from Amazon.
This is STUNNING and I can't believe the amount it ended up costing for such a massive and beautiful piece. Truly, great job! Thank you for sharing this project!
You guys make it look so easy.
Kiva, I live for how you just go for it when doing projects. You’re so inspiring.
Kiva you are amazing! I am now 77 years young & I love your canvas. I am going to show this to my kids for their new home 😊
Thank you so much Sharon!! 💕
Girl , girl , I cannot believe how beautiful this is, unbelievable
That’s huge... Loved it. Favorite to date
Wow, thank you so much, Pauline!!!
That is INSANE! Normally I'm REALLY cheap and would think "$70 bucks for a canvas is still a lot" until I realize how MASSIVE your canvas is and how EXPENSIVE even smaller ones are, you're right! I'm literally mind-blown and that rarely happens with these videos! INCREDIBLE job!!
Simply amazing😍. I just wanted more details about painting strokes/ technique . Love 💕 it!
I’m without words. WOW!! 🙌🏼♥️🙌🏼
OMG YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!
So great!!! It looks amazing! I wish we could have seen some detail of the different painting techniques you used to create it though! You are gifted!
I love you Kiva ❤️ thanks for all the inspiration, for all the joy you bring to me !
Super Inspirational! Just finished stretching a 44 x 60 canvas. Canvas pliers are the bomb….plus….my staple gun has a setting for 'wire'. This simply means that the gun will fire the staple in 3/4 of the way… This makes it easy to remove the staple with a pair of pliers for fine-tuning that canvas, and when you are happy, then you just hammer them home.
Holy moly that’s huge! Beautiful... I so wish I had your talent. Keep the awesome content coming!!
Thank you so much, Dawn!!!
Girl! Thank you so much for this video. Large canvas paintings are so expensive. I appreciate how you kept it real, because no diy goes perfectly. Thanks for the affordable inspiration.
I’m excited for this tutorial!!! I would have never have thought of it. Thank you 🙏🏽
Great idea to use a drop cloth as a canvas!
I absolutely LOVE this...Kiva you are so inspiring and authentic ❤
Wow you rock Kiva! You definitely help us to think out of the box and do our own diy projects. Love it!!
Awesome! Thank you so much! Very inspiring!❤️
I’m obsessed with the monochrome vibes 😍
You did an AWESOME job! I purchased two gold framed canvas paintings at Goodwill. Now I know what I will create with them. Thank you for the inspiration! 😊👍
I love it!! 💜 you need to sign the bottom! That is a masterpiece!
Thank you so much, Danielle!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kiva’s virtual design the whole experience is amazing!! Sign up before she becomes too famous! 😘
Thank you so much!!!!! I hope that the bedroom is coming along!
When I thought Arvin was driving me crazy, but Kiva is driving me insane!!!🤦🏾♀️😩😱😀
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You get an A+ for this DIY - wow!! I’m definitely going to try this - thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
That looks beautiful. I love the whole minimalist look from the beautiful painting to the room set up.
I love it so much but I wish you showed more detail of how you added the grey for those of us who are super un-artistic.
Agreed! It's absolutely stunning, but I'm sure I'd mess up any dripping I'd do, and so I'd love to see how those gorgeous faded grays were done. (Though I'm more boho, so I'd use a few different colors! 😜😉💗)
Yes i totally agree, i need to see how this was done
Love this. Can’t wait to try it in my new space!!! Thank you for sharing with us.
I absolutely love it!!
I just love watching your dog so focus on your amazing art work!! You have amazing talent..
Hahah thank you so much! He also says thank you!
This is amazing. I'm going to start my project today. I took a cheat and bought a ugly painting from Goodwill. It's around 6'×2.5'. I'll prime it, and do my abstract over it. I'm inspired by how wonderful it turned out!
Love your homemade painting super awesome!
This is stunning!!!!!!! So BEAUTIFUL!!!! You did that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! Thank you for this video! 🤗
Thanks for sharing this video. The painting is beautiful.
The canvas drop cloth was an eye opener and frame construction pretty much achievable for a home DIYer. Great work!!!
Thank you so much Alison!!! 💕
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you for this inspiring video!
Absolutely love it!
Stunning! You are so creative. I’m definitely trying to do this myself. Thanks for the tutorial.
I can’t, I mean Winter is too stinking cute! Great job!
Fantastic! Thank you for making and posting this video, it might be my all time fav CZcams DIY video!
Oh my gosh. I love interior design, R&b music, neutrals, Lowe’s, and diy projects. I feel like we could be best friends. 🥰👏🏼
Yes!!!! We’re the same! I always need more friends!!!
@@KivaBrent is now the time where I start singing toy story you got a friend in me?? 😂♥️♥️ much love to you! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.
Wow that's what you call going big. Perfect for your large wall love your enthusiasm.
Yes!!! Thanks so much, Denise!
I am so glad I watched this DIY video. This was a big project, but Kiva is one smart lady and I love the symmetry of the arrangement in the end.
Looks stunning! WOW
"My dog is afraid of wood" You are always so quotable! My cat is afraid of nothing (she is an absolute BEAST) but if someone knocks on the door she hides behind the stove 😜
This is glorious, y'all could just sell your art and make millions 💚💚💚
Wow, wow, wow this piece is amazing!
Thanks for your knowledge queen. Beautiful
