Grungy canvas by Nirvana


Hi everybody!!

Today I present to you a canvas a little grunge, trash! I found this skull in a store, my husband cut the back of it so that I could glue it flat on a canvas! 



Once glued, I added recycled embellishments, and others like Prima flowers, metal embellishments, chipboards, art stones ... Then, I delicately applied gesso everywhere except on my canvas! The task is not easy, you have to be careful !! (Some embellishments are painted before being pasted) I then spent "old silver" wax everywhere! 





Then I diluted the liquid acrylic paint "Carmine" with water to give a rusty and bloody effect !! I only put it in a few places, and added a little "fire ruby" wax, then I added paste effect rust to these same places, to make a worn and aged effect ... As the rust turns green in time, I applied a few drops of "Emerald" liquid acrylic paint! Finally, I diluted a little "White" liquid acrylic paint in water to make small white spots!









XOXO

Altered violin by Marina Ignatova

Hello, friends!

Today it's my turn to inspire you and I have prepared an unusual art object. This is a mixed media violin.



I covered each of the three parts of the blank with white gesso, applied craquelure paste and painted it with sprays.



Next, some acrylic paints. Tone added waxes - I can't imagine any of my work in the mixed media technique without them!




I also painted the chipboard.




In the final, a little accent paint and toppings - shimmer and Shine always attract attention))

I took a lesson on decorating this blank, in which you can see all the stages with your own eyes. Enjoy!
