But that has never stopped me from being crafty! I wanted to create some boyish super hero art for my son’s room! So I came up with this easy stencil canvas art and used Sharpies® to add pops of color! Don’t stop with super hero art! Shop all the stencils available to customize your own themes.

Step
1

Start by painting your canvases. I painted one yellow and one blue. Allow the canvas to dry for at least an hour. The pencil will not work if the paint is still sticky.

Once the paint has dried, take a pencil and position your stencil on the canvas. Lightly trace the stencil pattern onto the canvas.
