Hello there lovely creative friends!
Today I'd like to share with you my brand new inspiration - a mixed media canvas
Nature is the best inspiration for me! And I love using natural elements in my projects! This time I was fascinated by the bark of the tree, its texture and uniqueness. Therefore, I devoted my project to the forest theme.
I invite you to watch my video tutorial and to see the whole process of creating my project. Enjoy!
I created a canvas with a black background. This is my favorite kind of base. The colors and waxes shine here best and such background gives so many possibilities. Since in a forest you can find lots of different textures, I also tried to convey its atmosphere. So at first I created a texture layer. I used Texture Paste - Black Sand with very large and beautiful particles. I put it through the Stencil - Harlequin. It is very convenient to use paste with large particles and thanks to them my background has become unusual!
Then I cover all chipboard pieces with Heavy Gesso - Black. I applied paste to the canvas and let everything dry well. In order to add a bit of texture to the background I used stunning Rust Effect Paste. In each jar there are sand sized particles. And the paste is just fantastic when used at the background. So I added a little of gray colored paste to the background to make its shades more natural. Then I changed the colors. I used two colors: Acrylic Paint Metallique - Rustic brown and Sparks - Raven Black. You can mix them to get a more interesting shade and put them on the canvas.
Next, I added incredibly beautiful and unusual pieces of wood. Oh, this is an unmatched texture! Nothing can compare with this. I just stick it on the canvas and also glued a few chipboard pieces.
I covered several Mechanicals with Gray Rust Effect Paste - Military and made a composition of all elements. To get contrasting effect. I used another very beautiful Rust Effect Paste - Camouflage. Here I took two sets of different light colors to bring out more interesting shades. Have a look, what fantastic transitions are the final effest! Then I wanted to work out my textures and add some shiny look. I used Waxes - Aged Brass and Vintage Gold, that I really love! Thanks to them each particle comes to life and became really visible! And what a velvety texture of waxes and that amazing smell! Waxes are undoubtedly my favorite!
I added some depth to some places using Gray Rust Effect Paste. This creates a more voluminous effect. And of course here you will see my other favorites - Art Stones! This is truly a universal and magical material - it connects all the elements and adds texture. A little bit of shine coming from Glass Glitter Gold Rush and Glitter Set - Luminous and the project is ready!

I really hope that I was able to inspire you!
