Hi Friends,
I am back with a simple Mixed-Media mini-canvas. I celebrated 3 years of togetherness with my husband recently (i.e. 3 years of knowing each other) & I made him a mini-canvas as a gift :)
I am back with a simple Mixed-Media mini-canvas. I celebrated 3 years of togetherness with my husband recently (i.e. 3 years of knowing each other) & I made him a mini-canvas as a gift :)
Materials Used:

Method:
- Apply a layer of gesso on canvas with paint brush and let it dry
- Mix some gesso with Fevicryl ultramarine blue acrylic colour and paint the canvas in shades of blue
- Once dry, using the Pie-Lane background stencil and spatula apply Ranger texture paste on the canvas
- Once the Ranger paste is dry, apply Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink with sponge finger duaber over the texture paste and define the edges with brown marker or water colour pen
- I added some texture by stamping some musical notes
