Hello Sweeties,
Today I'm on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas. Again, I used a photo from @ArtHouseWhimsy.
To begin, I covered the canvas with an uneven layer of paper paste. I didn't wait for the paste to be dry before I added some gilding glue here and there with a brush.
While the background was drying, I primed all the chipboards and the resin elements with white gesso.
When the background was completely dry, I covered the gilding glue with gold Metallic Flakes. And then I painted the background with liquid acrylic paints. When dry, I added a thin layer of clear crackle paste in some places.
I painted the Wheat #3, Wildgrass #1, Foliage #25, and Botanic Mix #3 chipboards with a mix of Umber and Titanium White liquid acrylic paints. I used the same colors to paint the resin skulls.
I used Prussian Blue and Umber paints for the Moon #2 and the Postage Stamps, Prussian Blue for the Geo Tribal Motif #2. And for the Dreamcatchers, I chose to paint them in black.
To finish, I added gold glitter.
