Use your wings and fly

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new mixed media canvas 

as Design Team member for 13arts using the 

gorgeous, dramatic "Queen of the Night collection.

I prepared my wooden canvas by covering it with paper 

from the collection and then giving it a good coating 

of clear gesso, leaving it to dry completely.

I stamped onto the edges of my canvas and then

added Onyx Color Glow to gel medium, 

stenciling around my canvas and dragging the spatula 

up and down on my canvas until I was 

happy with the result.  

I added Texture Powder to white gesso to 

form a thick paste and then applied the paste along 

the left and right sides of my canvas, leaving the paste 

to dry completely to form the cracks.

I then mixed Garnet and Tiger Eye Color Glow 

together with gel medium, adding additional 

stenciling in some places.

I painted the round resin pieces in black gesso and 

then applied gel medium to them.

I lightly covered the gel medium with 

Rusty Bronze powder, shaking off the excess.

I then applied Reagent to the powder, 

leaving it to react with the powder. Once it was dry, 

I applied more of the Reagent to give the rust effect 

that I wanted.

Once I had added everything to my canvas, 

I added gel medium onto the canvas, below the

rusted elements and used the same process as above, 

allowing the Reagent to run down the canvas 

into the cracks of the paste.

Other pieces on my canvas were painted with 

black gesso and then lightly brushed with white gesso.

Once everything had been added to my canvas,

I lightly brushed florals and other embellishments

with white gesso.

I hope that this project inspires you to create one 

of your own with these beautiful 

13arts papers and products.
