Paint your Life

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my first project for 2025 with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

a mixed media wooden canvas featuring the 

beautiful Paint your Life collection 

together with 13arts mixed media 

products and mediums.

I started my project by adhering paper from the 

collection to my panel and then stenciled with 

modeling paste, dragging my spatula 

downwards from the stenciling

to soften the edges.

I then combined Golden Calcite 

Color Glow with gel medium and 

added stenciling around the edges 

of the panel with my spatula, 

using the same technique of

dragging the colour downwards.

I painted all chipboard as well as 

resin embellishments with

black gesso.  I then mixed 

Golden Calcite and Aventurine 

Color Glows separately with 

liquid medium.

I painted all resins and chipboard pieces 

with Golden Calcite and then, 

once they were dry, I lightly brushed the 

chipboards here and there 

with Aventurine.

I lightly brushed the resin pieces with 

white gesso and then added some of the 

Aventurine to them as well.

The copper pieces on my project 

were a gold metallic sheet which I 

painted with the Golden Calcite, 

tearing pieces and adding them to my project.

Some splashes of white ink and other 

colours used completed my project.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
