Hi dear Lindy’s lovers!
It’s Olga Ravenskaya here today with my new mixed media project and video step-by-step.
I’ve created it at the end of November when the colors of nature lost their brightness, when everything was getting ready for a long winter and the mood was melancholic. That’s why my project is full of muted colors and soft shades.
Basic Process:
- Prime the surface of the wooden base, clay elements and all the chipboard with white gesso.
- Apply opaque crackle paste over the surface here and there using the palette knife.
- When dry, mix transparent texture paste and opaque texture paste with magicals, Sea Grass Green and Whale Watch Blue, so you’ll get 4 kinds of mixture.
- Apply those colored pastes through the stencil, mixing them with each other. Use colored opaque pastes for the lower part, colored transparent paste – for the upper .
- Let it dry completely and color the surface with My Mojito Green and Whale Watch Blue sprays using a thick brush for more control. Let the sprays mix with each other.
- Add several layers of colors to the lower part to make it more saturated.
- When coloring add the decoupage gold metallic powder at the same time using a fun brush. It’ll mix with sprays and you’ll get beautiful golden additions.
- After drying stamp the surface to add more interest with a black water-resistant inks.
- Color the clay elements using the same sprays and metallic powder.
- Alter all the chipboard using sprays and embossing powders. You can see the detailed process in my previous post here
- Build up the composition and glue on all the embellishments.
- Mix Magnolia Magenta Gold and Whale Watch Blue sprays with a little water and tint the background here and there, and all the flowers using a thin brush.
- Add splashes of the same sprays using a thin brush.
- Add some mini prills and glitter using soft gloss gel.
- To finish, tint the edges of the embellishments with a slightly golden wax and a mixture of gold metallic powder and water.
Here is my process video so you can watch:
