I Use Musical Instruments As Canvases For My Painted Creations
I take a violin or guitar that’s sand-papered, worn-out, or simply unable to produce sound and I turn them into art mediums for my thoughts and painting ideas. Starry skies, whales, waves, or simply abstract, I use tester emulsion paint pots for the main color and acrylics and watercolors for the finer details and imagery of the beautiful paintings.
Each musical instrument piece takes me roughly 2-3 days to complete, 1 tub of ice cream for support, and an old pair of trousers to wipe the paintbrush on.
While the violin I created is virtually impossible to play, both classical guitars and their sounds have been unaltered in the process and with some good strings and tuning, are completely playable, unique artworks.

A lot of people are asking about the sound quality, of the violin, there's a lot of stuff on it so I'd imagine it would be affected a bit. The guitars, unless you're a professional (unlike me, I play for fun) you don't notice a difference in sound. I personally make these more for the visual art aspect of it as playing them in some cases (if I don't remove the strings and decorate the necks with objects) will be optional. I'm linking a video of the last guitar being played, it's an old guitar and the strings are not the best, so it sounds out of tune but the video is here for those who want to watch it. https://www.facebook.com/tara.hegarty.7/videos/vb.100005448335775/540218106169796/?type=3&theater

It shouldn't with a normal accoustic guitar, unless there is like a 0.5cm thick layer of it. A violin, probably, the sound resonance would be affected.
