Dear artists,
In this article I share with you the recap of my Art Project #3 : Black & Red Mixed Media Acrylic .
Here the list of the main steps :
- Decopatch (red)
- Structure with masking tape (black)
- Soft transition between red and black with a sponge
- Circles (red)
- 3D element with packing padding (black)
- Bubbles (red) and the final touch with a decofeather (red)
The required material for realizing this canvas :
❀ a canvas (in my case 20x20 cm)
❀ red acrylic paint
❀ black acrylic paint
❀ black spray paint
❀ paintbrush for painting
❀ paintbrush for applying glue
❀ palette knife
❀ scissors
❀ paper tissue
❀ transparent glue (mod podge)
❀ masking tape
❀ hot glue
❀ Decopatch paper
❀ a piece of packing padding
❀ a piece of bubble wrap plastic
❀ some round objects (such as empty cheese box and bottle cap)
❀ red feather
1. Decopatch (red)
- As a first step, paint an area in red and let it dry.
- Then apply mod podge onto it.
- Place a piece of Decopatch paper on the wet glue and apply another layer of glue.
- When dry, apply a thin layer of red paint over the Decopatch.
2. Structure with masking tape (black)
- Crumple a piece of masking tape and stick it onto the canvas.
- Paint it over with acrylic paint.
3. Soft transition between red and black with a sponge
- With a small sponge and very few paint, dab very very often to realize the soft transition.
4. Circles (red)
- Place a round object on the canvas.
- Paint with the paintbrush around it .
- Feel free to play with sizes and colours.
5. 3D element with packing padding (black)
- Spray the padding in black.
- Cut it the right size.
- Stick it on the canvas.
- Dab some red paint onto it with a paper tissue.
6. Bubbles (red) and the final touch with a decofeather (red)
- Apply some acrylic paint on some bubble wrap plastic.
- Stamp it onto the canvas.
- Stick the deco feather with hot glue onto the canvas.
