Summery Seaside by Anna Wiśniewska

Hello everyone!
I like winter, but as you know, summer is my favourite season of the year. And even in January I can’t resist creating sunny, summery projects. Today I have for you one of them. It’s warm canvas with summery, seaside photo.

I would also like to present you the way in which I created it:
1. At first I prepared the base – I put gesso and crackle paste on the whole canvas surface and I let it dry. I used bricks mask to obtain different effects.

 

 

2. Then I sticked hard elements to canvas – stars, buttons and sailing elements. I put gesso on them as well.

 

 

3. Next I put small and medium powertex balls and stick a little piece of gauze in the middle.

 

 

4. Then I used two tones of color powders – blue and yellow. These two are real summer colors.

 

 

5. When we make a project like canvas, it couldn’t be flat. We have to make lots of layers and dimenstions. I often use pieces of cardboard sticked under the main elements.

 

 

6. For final decoration I used straws, small paper elements and cequines.

 

 

7. I wouldn’t be myself if I hadn’t splashed my creation. I used white and gold paint for it.

 

 

8. And at the very end I used white gesso to take off some colors, so they could be more pastel and not so juicy. And the canvas is ready.

 

Here are a few photos of my finished project.
