Hello & welcome here today!
Today I am at the Itsy Bitsy blog with this mixed media canvas share. For details hop over to the blog here.
This is the pictorial -
I used teal blast metallic paint. These colors are very creamy & rich, give very good coverage & the metallic sheen is simply amazing. Pearlized paints are available in an array of colors -
Also I have used these on a variety of media in this project as you will see soon - canvas, paper, MDF, chipboard, fabric, handmade paper, metal.
To even out the color I used a baby wipe.

Next I wanted to add some silver to the background & this is where I brought in the dimensional paint. Once again with the baby wipe blended it in the background. Mont Marte Dimension acrylic is a high viscosity fine art paint.
After this I wanted some stencilling to add texture to the background using IMPASTO.
Impasto is a technique of using very thick paint, usually thick enough so that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. When dry, impasto provides texture & thats how I experimented with it using a stencil. Mont Marte Impasto is a heavy bodied paint that is colorless. When mixed with the color it does not change color.
As you can see in the picture I mixed both the colors with impasto & it formed a rich creamy blend.
Carefully I used the irregular dot stencil, using both pastes randomly.
While it was drying I brought out some embellishments from my Itsy Bitsy stash!
For some more texture I glued some doillies on the canvas & also some gesso splatters all over the canvas.
Once I decided on the layout I glued all the embellishments using silicon glue.
I brushed gesso on all & later painted them with the teal color. The chipboard frames, pearl strings & metal charms I chose to paint silver. At this point I also added some silver stencilled script to the background,
Here is the final look at the canvas & some close ups! Love how the sheen is captured by the camera!
All the embellishments transformed so easily to a teal color!
I had a lot of fun experimenting with the paints & impasto & hope you will try these too!
