Hello and welcome to my blog :) I want to share a mixed media canvas that I created for Christmas. For this piece I chose an A4 canvas and painted it with a layer of white Gesso. I created all the embellishments from Hearty Air Dry Clay, using several silicone moulds.
What else would I choose to make the centrepiece of my festive canvas but Father Christmas himself!
I used Cadence paints to colour my artwork, choosing a nice apple green colour to paint the canvas as a background for this piece. I used other colours of the paints on the embellishments as appropriate. I wanted my artwork to appear old and distressed, so when I was happy with the colours and composition I painted the whole piece with a brown laser gel and wiped the excess gel off with a damp cloth, leaving some gel in the corners, nooks and crannies to replicate years of dust and dirt that would have got trapped there.
I l I oved creating this artwork! It is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I am very pleased with the result.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I hope to see you here again soon :)
