The best day with the best friend

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team

member for 13arts ~ a grungy mixed media 

canvas featuring 13arts products and mediums

and elements from the Art Book Vol 4.

I love using and blending mixed media 

products on my projects and this 

one is no different.

I covered my canvas with black gesso 

and then, once dry, I applied modeling paste 

using a spatula as well as stenciling around

 the edges.  Once all product was dry, 

I stenciled onto my canvas using a combination of

gel medium and black gesso.

I also added a combination of Tanzanite 

Color Glow and white gesso and added

 colour along the top right and bottom left 

corners of my canvas.  

This blue gesso was also used on other

 elements on my canvas.

I also diluted the gold Shiny Powder with 

water and applied this to my canvas, 

spraying with water to allow the colour 

to move.

Resin embellishments were painted with

black gesso and then, once dry, were lightly brushed

with white gesso, adding diluted Shiny Powder

at the end.

I painted the paintbrush with black gesso, 

stenciling onto the handle and lower down and 

then painted it with the blue gesso mix, adding 

white gesso and Shiny Powder once all

product was dry.

I cut elements from the Art Book and then 

arranged these around my main composition, 

together with flowers and resin pieces.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
