I've got a super SWEET little canvas to share with you today! This is a 6x6, 1.5" deep burlap canvas.
This is the first burlap canvas that I've worked on and it was not as easy as I thought it would be. Your definitely better off with loose mediums like spray inks, gelatos, watercolors or gouache. I started by adding gesso and fluid acrylics.
Since the fibers are so loose I changed to gouache and molding paste for the cupcake. The gouache covers the burlap much better than fluid acrylic. In keeping with a highly textured piece, I opted for molding paste for the frosting. I simply mixed my color right in before applying to the canvas.
Since painting/drawing on the burlap proved to be a bit difficult for me, I decided to go with collage. I'm using butterflies that I purchased on Etsy from Reneaboutiques. (Great shop, you should totally check it out!) Sweet is from a K&Company diecut set.
I topped off the cupcake with a heart button from my stash and sprinkles of Shattered Mica Iced Enamels. I got the shattered mica from Paper Wings Productions. They have a lot of great mixed media productions to choose from, check them out too.
Thank you for stopping by, have a beautiful day!!!

ReplyDeleteI love it! The texture and slowness of burlap canvas reinforces that the process is more important than the product and it relates directly to the journey of finding CIPD level 5 assignment help near me. The development occurs from consistent effort, repeated drafts, and practicing by way of iterative learning, instead of simply wanting to complete the assignment perfectly or needlessly chasing after the highest-quality outcome while being mindful of the task limitations and giving proper thought to the context.
