Definitely want to get into spray painting. This looks easy.
This is definitely a cool trick.

My favourite drawing tutorial website: http://www.dragoart.com
It includes step-by-step instructions that are designed for children to be able to follow. Be sure to check it out next time you need to sketch something.
I have also found a number of helpful videos for all kinds of stuff. YouTube is definitely a great site.

Since those stretcher bars are really not that expensive, I suppose this really shows my frugal (some may say "cheap") nature. |
This is one of the ways that my husband and I make our picture frames.
