If you want to stay nuetral, How about leaves they are pretty easy to do, green and browns go together.

Maybe burgandy if you want some color.

- That IS a great idea and I have a painting on paper of autumn leaves I did ages ago which I quite like. I could just basically transfer this to a bigger canvas and maybe add grapes or something. Cool idea.

What about a warm red and orange sunset? The landscape could be in shadow so nothing too demanding....
Comments
- I do like that idea. We had some spectacular sunsets last summer, I should have had my paints out then! I think this would look wonderful if I made it reasonably subtle.

A really cool technique I learned in college is to take your canvas off the frame and crinkle it up. Then take spray paint (in different colors - your preference) and lightly spray the canvas creating an interesting design and texture-like quality. Spray one color and let dry. Then re-crinkle the canvas for a varied look and spray with a different color. Muted colors look great. It's fun to do. It always looks different. You can either leave the crinkled effect alone and hang it, or use it as a background then paint something on it - just use your imagination! Another suggestion, go to furniture stores and look at their art work. Find something you like and model it after that. I've never actually done this, but when I look at furniture and see the art they have on display...I think to myself, that's neat...I could do that. Happy painting!
Comments
- I like the crinkle paint idea - that sounds interesting. Funny you should mention the furniture stores - I have just bought a lounge suite and while there saw some large canvas's I liked but which were hideously expensive.So your rationale was exactly mine - hey I could do that...!

Do a splatter effect..that's simple. Just use beiges,browns, maybe some greens to spruce it up a bit.
Comments
- That could look good too. It might take a few "splatterings" to get it right - maybe we could just make a party of it and everyone join in. Hey that's not a bad idea!

I was going to say the complete opposite of both these answers. You should paint something in yellow. You need color if all you have in your room is beige and brown. Yellow goes with almost every color and it could be a focal point in the room.
Comments
- I love yellow but my bedroom is yellow and has yellow-themed beach scenes in it so that might be overkill. There's also some red in the lounge carpet and it might clash? Thanks for your ideas - all grist to the mill.
