Workshop Wednesday- " Sing a Little Louder" Mixed MediaTutorial

"Sing a Little Louder  " Mixed Media Tutorial

I have created this piece on Canvas 30 x 40 cm

But the project would also work on Journal paper.

Step 1. Collage pieces of old music sheets and paper doilies.

I use # Decopage Matte Medium 

Step 2 Choose your stencil and sponge the image with Gesso

Step 3 Use spray inks over your canvas. I have used Kaisercraft inks

Step 4 Spray with water and let the inks do their thing!

Step5 Apply more stencils #Tim Holtz, over your canvas with Texture Paste

Step 6 I have used Butterfly stamps by Kaisercraft,

 Stamp out onto lunch wrap paper using Black Stazon ink, cut out and glue onto canvas. 

Choose a paper napkin with flowers, peel off the backing and collage onto your canvas.

Step 7 Load your filbert paintbrush In Titanium White and highlight the flowers.

 Paint in a few extra leaves using Jade and Titanium.

 Dyrbrush the larger butterfly wings in Titanium.

Add some music washi tape, pink self-adhesive rhinestones, 

Whatever else you want to embellish with. Make it your own!

Step 8 Print out your verse and collage it onto your canvas.

 Use words that express your personal message.
