Something Cheerful

Hello everyone!

Welcome to INSPIRE.

 

It has been far to long since I have shared any creativity with you, today, that drought ends.

 

A couple of months ago, I had started to create an 8x10 mixed media canvas, but kind of got stumped on where to go after adding paper remnants and some gesso.

 

 

 

This week, I found myself inspired, and finally completed this canvas for my "art" wall in my crafting space.

 

I wanted something cheerful & inspiring, and I think I have accomplished that.

 

I used a great variety of products and techniques on this project.

Including gesso, matte medium, texture paste, paint, distress inks & markers, spray ink,

embellishments, digi prints, stencils, scraps of paper and chipboard.

 

 

The early stages of the canvas.

 

 

I added an additional coat of gesso before adding any ink or paint.

 

Using my finger, I created "bubbles" with paint, creating dimension in colors and shading.

 

 

I used stencils in text & honeycomb design with texture paste in the background designs.

 

Finishing the design, I used gesso dry brushed over the entire canvas.

 

The finished canvas.

 

 

I hope you enjoy this project and brief tutorial, and find yourself inspired too.
