Hello my Beautiful People! Welcome back to the studio! Today I am working on a mixed media piece that I am very excited about! I am still having a great time playing with my Lightweight Spackling and have found another very fun and relaxing way to use it! Lets get started!
Im using a 15x30 inch gallery wrapped canvas from Artists Loft.
I got the stencil on Amazon.
I am using Fast N Final Lightweight Spackling paste which I also got on Amazon.
Colors
Golden
- Payne's Grey
- Transparent Red Iron Oxide
DecoArt Americana Decor
Metallics
- 24K Gold
Rustoleum Metallic Accents
- Black Garnet
No Pouring Medium Used
Todays piece is a big different than what I usually do.. Im not mixing my paints with any kind of pouring medium at all! I wanted to create a beautiful mountain scene with a minimal color palette and Im very happy with how it came out.
I love the way that the spackling worked with the stencils. At first I was thinking that I would paint them once they were dry but I actually really enjoy the contrast between the white spackling and the colors on the canvas.
A few notes:
- You can apply the colors to the canvas and let them dry before applying the spackle or stencils.
- You can add color to the spackling before you use it for stencils.
- Pay attention to the scale of things when working with stencils.
- Grouping or stacking the stencils looks really good. You might want to let the first layer dry before you apply any more layers on top to ensure a crisp clean edge.
- Using some water to soften the colors and have different levels of color concentration is a really beautiful look. You can even use the water you use to clean off your brush to do this..
I thank you all for joining me here today, I hope you enjoyed the creation of this piece. It was very relaxing and fun for me to spread the paint around like that, and I love the way these Asian temples and trees look on that background!
I would love to know what you think. Please leave me a Like and a comment and if you are so inclined feel free to share this video! Thank you all so much for your love and support! Have an awesome day!
