Hello, Welcome to
the IndigoBlu Blog, Kay M today and I
would like to share an Autumnal canvas.
I've combined lots of textures with the Indigoblu English Cottage Artist'sAcrylic Paint colours of the season.
I began by covering an A4 sized canvas with skeletal leaves
using Slap-it-On Matt and added dimensional paste butterflies through the
Floral Fantasy stencil. Cocktail and
bamboo sticks were dipped into fine and coarse pastes and then glued in
place. Die cut leaves were crushed then
scattered and adhered were they landed, the canvas was left the dry. The
entire canvas was then painted with Gee-Sso-Good white, a wash of BurningBonfire and two further washes of Gee-Sso-Good
white dabbed with Goldfinger, ensuring each layer was dried before adding the
next.
Five chipboard leaves were covered with coarse paste and
left to dry. Ruby Slippers, Burning Bonfire and Emerald City mixed with PheasantBronze then painted onto all the leaves. Gold Luscious mixed with water was applied to
highlight the paste butterflies.
Images and the sentiment from Nature II were stamped,
painted and shaped where necessary.
The tree stump and ferns, stamped onto tissue paper and applied with Slap It On Matte, all the other elements secured with silicon glue as
shown.
To finish a little brown Distress Ink was sponged around the
canvas edge.
I do hope you enjoyed my autumn canvas.
Take care, Kay M
