A canvas can be very costly to those artists that work on a strict budget. My wife bought this 18" wide x 22" length x 18" height solid wood table at a thrift store for <$5.00. I sanded and painted the table with a $3.00 can of flat light green paint, picked up at Lowe's (sale shelf). It is now December in Florida and it's a chilling 54 degrees, so I decided to paint a snow-family scene.
Keep your eye open at garage sales for wood items that you can paint on (shelves, boxes, tables, etc.). It is allot of fun and just so you know - - - this table, and a stool I bought for $2.00, was sold for $150.00. I went to Walmarts and found serving tables for $8.00, I think I will buy several tables and skip one canvas - - - try it, you will love it!
