I've been playing with texture here. I took this mini 4 inch by 3 inch canvas, and dribbled some clear tar gel onto it. I also added clear granular gel, and some fibre paste. I left it all to dry overnight, then painted it with a coat of burnt umber fluid acrylic. Once that was dry, I painted it with interference green fluid acrylic, and a few areas of interference violet. Finally, I stroked Treasure Gold all over the canvas, bringing out all the high points. I used heavy gel medium to add Da Vinci's self portrait in the polymer clay frame, which was made in a Krafty Lady mould, dusted with Pearl Ex.
I hope Liz likes it!

You make the coolest stuff! I love the tutorial in your previous post and hope to try it! But it also gave me some crazy ideas for doing things with plastic bottles instead of sending them out to fill up another landfill! Very inspiring blog! I will definitely come back!
ReplyDeleteLove all the fabulous texture!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love how Da Vinci seems to pop out of his frame with your colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great Adrienne. I think I have some fiber paste, but haven't tried it yet.
