Since my maternity leave started, I have been wanting to do some art work. Also the upstairs bedroom really needed some kind of color in it. I searched around quite a bit on net, and finally found something that I could try out. I am not this great artist or anything, so I can only confidently try out simpler stuff which does not require too much of art work. Finally i saw this

So seeing this i thought this was achievable and when I told Sree, he was all for it.
So instead of Vinyl, I was able to find self adhesive kitchen contact paper in the garage. So I used that to draw the peacock feather.
We went to michaels and got yellow, blue and purple acrylic paints. We also got an extraction knife.
I practiced drawing a peacock feather few times, and then drew it on to the back side of the contact sheet. The next day, me and sree sat and cut it out using a extraction knife.
Once the stencil was cut, we cut the right pieces and stuck it onto the canvas. Once those were stuck, we sat and painted each canvas with the respective color. We got cadmium yellow, purple and crimson blue. Here is the snap of the final product, and we did multiple coats of paint for a more finished look.
Sree helped me paint multiple coats and it was fun to see him enjoying this.
Super excited about the final product.! We placed it in the upstairs guest room where my parents were going to stay.
