This way for adventure

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a canvas which I created as Design Team member for the 13 arts

January Challenge.

Starting this month our challenges have moved to Instagram so it will be much easier for you

to post and take part in it. We hope that you will be inspired by our mood board and create

and submit a project of your own.

A winner will receive a giftpack full of 13 arts products and will be our

Guest Designer next month. We will also feature two other best works (as voted by our DT).

and for more DT inspiration.

I am sharing my project which I created as inspiration for the challenge - a canvas

using 13arts Rusting Powder and Reagent, Watercolor Powder and Color Glows.

I prepared the background of this project by first painting it with brown and turquoise

watercolor powders and then adhering a piece of clay, made with a texture mould,

onto the centre of the canvas and then painted it with the same watercolors.

The wings and other embellishments were then adhered to the canvas and also 

coloured with a combination of the two watercolor powders.

I then added gel medium, with either a paintbrush or a spatula, in areas where I 

wanted to add the rusting powder, i.e. around the clocks, the wings, the propeller as well as 

around the edges of the canvas.

I then added the rusting powder to the wet gel medium, shaking off the excess.

I then added the Reagent to the rusting powder and watched it work its magic.

I prefer to add a little of the liquid to a spray bottle instead of pouring the liquid on 

as you waste a lot of the liquid that way.

By spraying on more of the reagent will produce the different shades of browns 

in the rust effect.

I added more of the browns, blues and yellows to the project until I 

was happy with the colours.

To create the gold accents, I used gold Shiny Powder added to Gel Medium and rubbed

this on with my finger to accentuate the details.

I hope that you like this project.

Until next time!

💛
