#captured



Hi everyone.
Today I am sharing a single canvas created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee 
using the beautiful "Out & About" collection.

I love the purple and peach colour combination of this collection, together with the pinks, 
which matched the photograph of my niece perfectly.

I painted white crackle paste onto the background of this canvas, leaving it to dry naturally so that 
the cracks will appear naturally.  I was so happy with the result because these little cracks 
are gorgeous! and when the ink runs through them, they look amazing.



I stenciled onto the crackle gaze and then added some inks in purple, pink and peach, 
lightly spritzing them with water so that they move on the canvas, running through the cracks 
and stenciling to create the effect that I wanted.


I love the Redesign with Prima and Finnabair moulds.  I used airdry clay with this mould 
and then, once dry, I painted them with concentrated watercolour and then rubbed with 
Firebird metallic wax.


At the end, I added a light brush of white gesso over everything to soften the colours.


I hope that you like this canvas.
Until next time!
💜
