Posted by DecoArt on May 29th 2017
My inspiration for this came from Michael Demeng, I love his assemblage art work and colours.
Items Needed:
- DecoArt Media Mediums and Specialty Products - Gesso - White (DMM18-71)
- DecoArt Media Mediums and Specialty Products - Crackle Paste - White (DMM17-71)
- Assorted Brushes
- Assorted Embellishments
- Torso Sculpture
- Stazon Ink
- Flower Stamp
Instructions:
I had acquired a resin torso sculpture and decide to give it a make over and applied a variety of embellishments using DecoArt Media Liquid Glass
Once dry I applied Media White Gesso.
Applied a second coat as the original finish was very dark.
Applied Media Crackle Paste with a brush to the base and to areas of the torso.
Started by applying DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Quinacridone Gold.
Resulting in fabulous crackle texture.
Started by applying DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Quinacridone Gold.
Followed by Burnt Umber and Prussian Blue, spritzing the colour and allowing to run until happy with the coverage.
Same process to the base.
Stamped with Stazon Midnight and Teal around the base and build up the density of colour with light brush strokes.
Applied Quinacridone Gold and Prussian Blue to some paper butterflies.
