    To secure small nails without smashing your fingers - use a pair of needle nose pliers or stick the nail through a piece of paper for a handle.

    Thanks for sharing. I prefer oil painting i/o a print. You can find really nice oil paintings for a similar budget. I have a replica of Van Gogh and every time I look at it, it creates a smile on my face. I sometimes still smell the painting (after more than 20 years) and the craftsmanship is part of the art of painting too for me.

      Sometimes one can fall in love or be inspired by a print. In that instance it most likely would be difficult to fine a painting that would be a good dupe unless you have the money to commission a likeness. That is exactly why I hunted for this DIY video.
