Today, I'm on Dusty Attic's blog with a mixed-media canvas. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so here it is....
Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy (Dark Romance)
I covered the canvas with an uneven layer of Paper paste. I painted the top part with different shades of red to obtain a red similar to the one in the photo and the lower part in the grey.
I primed all the chipboard with Black Gesso. I
I covered the Madalan #2 with Graphite paste. It give a beautiful effect: a shiny and gritty black with silver sparkle.
I used only waxes in different shades of silver or white to color the other chipboards. For the Foliage #27band the Dandelion, I used the Old Silver, White Pearl for the Foliage #23 and Celestial for the small Tea Leaves and the Wildflowers #7.
I didn't want the flowers to be white but a shade similar to the woman's skin. So I used the Créme Brulee Cream Magical and added some Snazzy Sparkle.
To finish, I added silver glitter.
