Mixed Media Canvas

Sheena Douglass is back on Create and Craft again this Saturday at 11am, 3pm and 7pm, showcasing some fabulous new products. Sheena will be encouraging us to create home decor pieces and mixed media art pieces. This is one not to be missed, shows full of art techniques, the next progressive step for stampers.

I decorated a canvas using products that will be on the show.

I began my canvas by adding lots of textural items, doilies, hessian, book pages and gel.

The canvas was then painted with Gesso.

I love texture in my pieces, they give wonderful interest, dimension and create a very tactile canvas.

I then added a wash of colour and once each layer was dry I would repeat the process.

I added a few lilies using Sheena's A Little Bit Floral range, these area actually created from tissues, creating a paper cast of the lily. I then coloured with paint and gilding wax.

I love the texture and patterns from the painted doily. Tranquil was also stamped around my canvas using black Archival Ink.

I also stamped the crackle background from Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy stamps onto the canvas using coffee Archival Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I will be back with more samples I created for Sheena's shows at the end of the week. Tracy x x
