SUNBURST

- Live life as though everything is rigged in your favour - Rumi

...Hello everyone...

...it's been so nice to have a DecoArt play day, lots of mess & lots of fun...

...I've created an 8'' by 10'' canvas and 3 mini media boards by Tando-Creative to share with you using Andy Skinner's Sunburst Stencil/Mask and paints and mediums from the DecoArt Media Line...

...I have to say I have stepped right out of my comfort zone and loved it!...

...the fluid acrylics have an amazingly high colour pigment, that give a wonderful vibrancy and add great depth...

...the crackle paint adds thousands of teeny tiny crackles, which come to life when the paint, misters and water flows into them high-lighting their amazing formation...

...lots of circles, hand drawn along with splodges and splatters, no rules...

...tiny fissurs...

...loving this stencil/mask by Andy-Skinner...

...this canvas had been gesso'd, then crackle paint was spread randomly with a pallet knife to add texture...modeling paste was mixed with colour and spread over the stencil...

...liquid glass was added over the top of the dried modeling paste...

...paint, misters and water were layered, dried and layered again, endless possibilities, the Quinacridone Magenta is ahhhhmazing and my new fave colour! I'm a blue girl but this vibrant colour changes when mixed with water etc to become a delicious raspberry I love it...

...the light captured the liquid glass, love this stuff it's so versatile...

...I used black & white Pitt Pens to add some whimsical scribbles to define borders...

...all the pinky tones are Quinacridone Magenta in various stages of dilution, ahhhhmazing colour! I hope you find time to have some fun and see where the paint takes you, sorry these piccys are slightly blurry (think I may need an eye check lol!)...

...all paints and mediums in these photo's are by DecoArt ...
