Be True to Yourself - Mixed media panel

Hello Sweeties,

Today I have a new mixed media panel to share with you inspired by the June Moodboard from Art Daily Cafe. I worked with a photo from @Denis Chekanov Art.

The June theme is Rust & Dust.

 

June Art Daily Color is Rusty Red and Rusty Brown.

 

The technique is "use something forgotten in your stash".

First, I glued a few papers on the background on which I added a design with Modeling Paste. Next, I glued a piece of leftover plastic used to create the number for apartments. Next, I covered the whole panel with an uneven layer of Plaster Paste.

When dry, I painted everything with liquid acrylic paints in Burnt Sienna, Carmine, and Ochre. I added also some Brown Rus Paste and some Ink Black liquid Acrylic paint. Finally, I added Clear Crackle Paste here and there. 

I primed some gears and cogs with Black Gesso. Next, I colored them all with Brown and Red pastes. When dry, I added some Charcoal Black wax, then the Graphite, and finally the Brushed Iron. 

Next, I glued all the elements from the composition with the Heavy Body Gel. I added some Brushed Iron and White gold on the background to highlight all its details.

To finish, I added some Glass Glitter and Mica Flakes.
