Hello
friends!
My
inspiration often comes from just looking at colors and admiring them, but to
be fair I was once the most boring person who liked only trivial colors. Mixed
media showed me the amazing world of color and since then I started liking more
and more shades and tones. You can actually say I have opened my eyes in a way.
Today
I`ll share with you my lavender canvas combined with purple, which was one of
the colors I never understood why women loved so much.
First
step was to paint almost all the canvas with Impasto paint in Lavender. Then I
applied thick layer of white crackle paste and before letting it dry I added my
dry lavender pushing them lightly so they can be as one with the paste. I like
to let the crackle paste dry on itself, so this is what I did.
After
the crackles were visible and the paste was dry, I used Prima Watercolor
Confections Tropicals and then Liquid Acrylic in Purple diluted with water.
This gives contrast and the crackles are becoming more visible. I took Paper
Paste and added here and there on the stems of the dry flowers since they were
sticking out on some places. Some stamping followed on a few places, but most
of them got covered later.
Next
step was using Vintage Wallpaper stencil with Paper Paste and deciding where
and what my focal point would be. When I decided, I applied plaster paste
around the place where my photo was going to be. On top of the paste I added
Mega art stones, regular art stones and Micro beads in Berry. I pushed them a
little so they would stick to the paste and left them to dry overnight.
The next
day I added diluted Impasto paint on the art stones. The final touch was dry
brushing with white gesso, as well as dabbing with ponge with white gesso on
top.
This was
my process of creating.
I hope
you`ll like my lavender canvas.
Be
inspired and stay safe and healthy!
Hugs,
Martina.
