Mixed Media Steampunk Canvas

Hello to everyone from Robin Horasanian Welcome to another March project highlighting the partnership between Altered Pages and USArt Quest this month.  Today I have a mixed media Steampunk canvas to share. These canvas art boards are already primed with gesso so they are ready whenever you are.  If you wish to tone down the canvas texture showing through your paint, you can add another layer or two of gesso before you begin.  I like the texture and actually wanted to add more.  I used Artist Cement to add random layers of swirls like I do when I frost cakes.  Then I sprinkled on a few Prills here and there and lightly pressed them into the paste.

MICA, MICA, MICA

Supplies: USArtQuest Duo USArtQuest PPA USArtQuest Mica Tiles USArtQuest Mica D'lights USArtQuest Mica Flakes USArtQuest Prills USArtQuest Specialty Paper Split a Mica Tile, adhere collage image with USArtQuest PPA. Use   USArtQuest Duo in a few spots around the image to attach USArtQuest Mica Flakes, and then add a little more USArtQuest Duo to attach USArtQuest Mica Delights. Adhere specialty handmade papers, green paper to cream with USArtQuest PPA , then with USArtQuest Duo to attach USArtQuest Mica Delights and USArtQuest Prills to the papers. ...
