A steampunk style canvas by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

I'm back on the blog. :)

This time I made a steampunk-style canvas, which was special because I put chipboard on it, so no stencilling was needed.

I applied white gesso to black canvas, then used metallique mermaid teal acrylic paint, spraying more water on it to get a more intense colour in some areas and a paler colour in others.

I applied white gesso to the chipboard base and then applied a minimal amount of cracking paste. I then applied brass hardware and burnt sienna acrylic paints. And for a slightly rusty effect, I used matte impasto dark chocolate.

For the brick mould elements, I used a mixture of burnt sienna and crimson liquid acrylic paints. I sanded it down a bit for a rustic effect and applied ink black acrylic paint, in a very thin layer.

I painted the other mould elements with metallique ancient coin paint.

I applied peacock and aged brass waxes to both the edges of the mould elements and the mitform metal elements.

I sponged white gesso on the edges of the metal flowers, then applied white pearl wax. it was very shiny, so I added a little blue colour, namely mermaid teal.

I gave the Art Pebbles their final colour with a mixture of liquid crimson acrylic paint and ancient coin metallic acrylic paint.

As a final step, I added granular decorative elements.

Hugs,

Marietta

Today is full of possibilities by Mila

This piece of recycled wood, I turned it into a piece of art.... Using one of my favourite colour palettes.

I loved this phrase as soon as I saw it" Today is full of possibilities". It is a reminder that we can "eat the world" every day. Project with several layers of moulds painted with impastos, acrylics and wax.

Halloween-themed creation by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

Today's creation is Halloween-themed, so it won't be left out this year.

As for the colours, even Wednesday might like to keep it on her shelf. :D

I glued old book pages to the base with soft matte gel and washi tape. Where there was no paper I covered it with black gesso, and the paper with clear gesso.

I stencilled with black gesso, then used a white gesso with a dry brush to highlight the edges and stencil.

I first painted the area under the rim of the glass with White Pearl acrylic paint, splashing more water on it to make the colour less intense. I then used liquid acrylic paints in the following shades: Ink Black, Burnt Sienna and Purple.

I used Ink Black acrylics for both the bone mould elements and the skulls.

The demonic chipboard elements were painted with purple liquid acrylic, geared chipboard elements with raven black sparks acrylic. I found burnt sienna suitable for the gear mould elements.

I used metal elements from Finnabair and Mitform Castings to brighten up the creation.

Finally; I sprinkled some granular decorative elements on the top and stamped a little.

Have a nice day 

Marietta
