Creative Artiste #94 June 2023

  ....Welcome to a new challenge at

Creative Artiste

Creative Artiste is a monthly challenge blog for everyone who likes to mix their media. So, as long as you like to use various mediums on your creations, we'd love to see you enter the challenge.

A big Thank You to everyone who entered the challenge last month. Your projects were all fabulous and our winners have been announced on the blog.

Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
We have opportunities to be a Guest Designer for all our winners.

This is a 12" x 9" (30 x 23cm) canvas board.

I think everyone knows I love turquoise and teal, but here I've used darker greens than I normally work with to create this canvas. I love the rich results with the gold highlights.

I started by using texture paste through stencil #45 from Aall & Create randomly all over the canvas. I then painted it all with black gesso.

To add some extra dimension to the elements I arranged some black straws on the canvas, cutting them to fit and fixing in place with soft matt gel.

I made the cogs and clock from resin using Prima moulds. I used Mecha Moth, Clock Faces, and Machine Parts. I arranged the resin elements I'd made across the canvas and glued them with Heavy Body Gel.

I filled in some of the spaces with Prima Artstones and Mini Artstones mixed with Soft Matt Gel. I then covered everything with black gesso.

I dabbed Prima Art Alchemy acrylic metallic paints Mermaid Teal and Emerald Green over the elements and canvas and used water to spread and blend the paints.

I applied Prima Metallic Emerald Wax, Prima Opal Magic Turquoise Satin Wax and Pebeo Empire Gold Gilding wax with stiff brushes to the elements and across areas of the canvas.

To finish, I darkened some areas of the arrangement with watered black gesso and buffed the wax highlights.
