I had some seashells, resin pieces and beads left over from another project and decided to display them all together in an underwater scene.
I've called this "The Shipwreck II".
I have worked on a bigger canvas than I usually use this month. The canvas measures 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cms). I started by priming the canvas with a coat of white gesso.
I randomly stamped Aall & Create stamp #310 Bubble Block over the canvas using Versafine Clair ink. Once dry, I spread 3D Matt Gel through Aall & Create stencil #87 Totally Dotty with a palette knife.
I arranged the shells and resin pieces on the canvas and fixed them in place with Prima's 3D Matt Gel. I added a few extra leftover pieces like the gold leaves, glass cabochons and starfish.
Next I used lots of water with DecoArt Fluid Acrylics in Prussian Blue, Cobalt Turquoise, Cobalt Teal and Quinacridone Gold. I started with the darkest colour and dried the canvas in between each one to set them in place so they didn't run into each other.
I finished the canvas by adding lots of flat backed pearls with 3D Matt Gel and a few silver charms.
