tiny canvas #2

Happy Sunday!

Today I’m sharing a tiny canvas I created for ColourArte. It’s really a quick and easy project to do, it only took a few minutes to paint it!

To create this project I used:

ColourArte products

• Primary Elements: Summer Breeze, Burnt Umber, Black Emerald
• Twinkling H2Os: Siam White
• Silks: Vintage Mint
• All Purpose Clear Glaze Medium

Other products:

• small canvas 8×7 cm
• Finnabair Black Gesso
• Finnabair white crackle paste
• Finnabair white sand paste
• Metal embellishments
• chipboard embellishment (for the roof)
• wire
• screws
• word sticker (7 Dots Studio - Domestic Goddess)
• package card stock
• craft glue

First I cut the package chipboard in a house shape and glued it on the back side of the canvas. Then I covered everything with Black Gesso. When it was dry I applied the two texture pastes (crackle and sand paste) here and there. I placed the chipboard and metal embellishments in the wet pastes (they work as a glue) and left it dry naturally for 5 hours.

After it was dry I spread with a dry paintbrush the three colors of the Primary Elements here and there. I sprayed with water and dried it with a heat gun. Then I applied a thin coat of Clear Glazewith a paintbrush to make the Primary Elements permanent.

Next step was to highlight some spots with the Vintage Mint. I applied it with a dry paintbrush here and there. I really love this color because it gives a vintage touch at the project.

Last step of the painting process was to make some splashes with the Siam White H2O. You have to spray some water in the jar to activate the color and wait for a couple of minutes. Then your color is ready to use.

At the end I added two screws and twisted the wire in order to create a hanger for the little canvas. I also glued a sticker with my tittle: ‘Unknown’.
