Under the Sea #Nursery Wall art Quote using @DecoArt_Inc Americana Acrylic Paint | spotofteadesigns.com

I’m not typically one of those people who’s really inspired by or loves quotes. But when it came time to create some wall art for Hailey’s room and I was researching “nautical/ocean” themed nurseries, I kept seeing this one”count the waves” quote that seemed so sweet.  Sure I could’ve just created the design and had it printed to frame and hang but I like the handmade look!

I designed the quote digitally first so I’d had a reference of sizes/fonts when it was time to sketch it out. Derek primed a canvas that previously had a different design on it so I had a blank slate to dress it up for my little miss.

After I had a rough sketch ready, I got out my Deco Art Americana paints and got to work making this piece colorful. The white border just seemed TOO white to me so a few little dots were needed to keep it colorful.

After that was all dry, I took the same approach as the Octopus Wall Art and added some sparkly accents using crystal fine glitter.  Learn more about Deco Art via their website | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest | Instagram | Youtube.

While I do not sell a version of this as a painted canvas, I do sell 8×10 prints of this “count the waves” design in my Etsy shop in the same pastel colors I used.

Or if you’re looking for this design in a custom size or colors to match you’re child’s nursery, you can see this listing. Check out these customer submitted photos of the print in their custom colors of choice in their adorable nurseries:

Spotofteadesigns.com Reader's Feature - Betsy's Baby nursery featured a "count the waves" printable customized in her color schemes.

I design the PDF in any color and size you choose to match your nursery and you can have it printed at home or any facility you want!

      Hi Lori. It was actually made by a family member. You can see how I made it over on this post though, in case you find a wooden one that isn’t white and distressed: https://spotofteadesigns.com/under-the-sea-nursery-ship-wheel-mirror-makeover/

        I actually have 2 boat wheels that do not have a mirror in the center & in my opinion I’m not sure there is enough room to add a mirror to the center. I would love to be able to share a pick with u of what they look like & see if u could offer up any ideas for dressing the up some! I am going to do the distressed white so info about the chalk paint was very helpful!

          I know some craft stores sell the little mirrors in maybe the candle section that could possibly fit?

          Good luck on your makeover!

    Do you have a file of the words for this? I love the fonts you used, and am having a hard time duplicating the font in Word. I’d really like to make a canvas of my own for baby’s room.

    Thank you.

      Hi Stephanie! Thanks for reaching out about this print! I have actually had several requests about it recently and now offer an option to buy a PDF file with custom colors and sizes to match your child’s nursery. I’ve updated the post to reflect this new option. Please email me for a quote!

    Hi! I’d love to know what paint colors you used on your walls! We’re going with an underwater theme for our baby girl and I want the teal/purple scheme as well. Would you mind sharing the names/brands of those colors?

      Hey Heather! If you visit the post about the full room reveal I added it to the sources at the bottom. Youd be surprised how many times I get asked this! https://spotofteadesigns.com/under-the-sea-nursery-full-reveal/

    How did you trace the font onto the canvas?

      I actually eyeballed it to draw onto the canvas. HOWEVER, you can also try this technique that I did on another project and it worked out great: https://spotofteadesigns.com/how-to-transfer-a-design-onto-a-pumpkin/

    May seem like a silly question but what type of paint brushes do u use for painting the acrylic paint onto the canvas? I have the worst luck with paint brushes

      I don’t have any specific brand that I use. I keep reusing “artist’s brushes” set from Michaels from years ago.
