Here are some closeups of detail….
My first step for the canvas’s was placing mesh,lace & doing some stencil work,for some texture. I then painted the canvas with black gesso. I wet some of the chipboard pieces,& gently lifted it apart,(there are 3 layers in the chipboard). Once the chipboard dried, I glued it onto the canvas & painted it with black gesso. Once the gesso dried I painted the chipboard with the Dusty Attic paints listed above……
I then applied a coat of DA clear crackle varnish onto the chipboard…
I also used some beads & micro beads for texture…
& some cheese cloth….
My final step was to play with the LuminArte’s & Tattered Angels to add more color & give the canvas,shimmer….
