Nature Lover - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today i'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new canvas about nature.

I primed the canvas with white gesso as usual. Then, I used different pastes to cover the background to obtain an uneven surface. I used paper paste, modeling paste, and Light modeling paste. The paints will react differently with each paste, and I want to obtain this result. I layered different shades of green (Avocado, Emerald, and Lime Green) and black liquid acrylic paints.


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso too. I painted the Strawberry #2 leaves with Avocado liquid acrylic. I mixed some carmine and crimson to obtain a lighter shade of the girl's pants to paint the strawberries and the center of the flowers. 


I used lime and avocado to paint the Boho Feather to add some contrast.


As for the Dandelions, I just painted the flower stems with the avocado paint. 


To finish, I added some glitter.

Let's Get Spooky! - Mixed media canvas for Finnabair

Hello Sweeties,
Today I'm up on Finnabair's blog with a mixed-media canvas inspired by the monthly theme: Let's Get Spooky!

As the base for the background, I decided to use the Solar tissue paper. I used the Soft Gloss Gel to glue on the canvas. Then, I added a very thin layer of Heavy White Gesso as I wanted to see the pattern afterward. I added a design with the Rocket Science stencil and 3D Gloss Gel.


I primed the bat wings with Heavy Black Gesso and the other resin elements with Heavy White Gesso.   


I painted the skull and the bones with the same Liquid Acrylic I used for the background. To alter the chains, I used the Rust Effect Paste set and some Old Silver wax.


I added some Vintage Silk wax to highlight the details of the bat's wings and the horns of the mountain sheep.
