Hello Sweeties,
Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas.
Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas.
First, I primed the canvas and all the chipboards with white gesso
I covered the canvas with texture paste. While the paste was still dry, I glued and pressed all the chipboard in the paste. I wanted to have the impression that the elements were embedded in a wall.
When everything was completely dry, I painted the background with Burnt Sienna and Ochre liquid acrylic paints with a lot of water. You must be careful when you use the paper paste as it once again becomes wet. So allow it to dry completely again before the next step.
The next step was to paint the chipboard. I used Burnt Sienna and Ink Black. I accented the color of the gears to make them stand out. I added some shadows around the clusters to add depth to the composition.
To finish, I added black glitter.
