Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas
I'm a huge fan of Finnabair and i love her mixed media collages, and it was time to give this a try. I printed a picture of me on photo paper and glued it with gel medium on a canvas in size of 18x24cm. As the first step i used fixative spray to protect the picture and black gesso to prepare the rest of the canvas. Then i started to build my composition with metal embellishments, chipboardpieces and other small embellishments. After i glued all pieces with gel medium, i covered them with black gesso. As last step i added some artalchemy paints and white gesso to hightlight everything. products i used: Amsterdam black gesso Amsterdam extra heavy gel medium metal embellishments from Retrokraftshop chipboards from Snipart Finnabair artalchemy paints: 'deep water', 'opal magic pink blue', 'opal magic aqua rose' 'white pearl' Amsterdam white gesso
