FOUR MINI CANVASES

For this project, I taped four canvases together and worked on them at the same time. I couldn’t choose between a couple of stencils, so I used 8!

To begin, I gessoed the canvases and then I taped the four of them together so I could work on all of them at the same time. I stuffed paper towels in them so they wouldn’t sink in when I was working on them.

Next, I painted them with an ivory paint and then used matte medium to glue strips of dictionary pages onto the canvases.

After that, I began to paint the canvases with the cheddar, sedona, and elephant colored paints.

Once they were dry, I used the umber paint and a large variety of TCW stencils to decorate the canvases.

In order to tone down some of the color, I applied tissue wrap using the matte medium; and then painted over that once it was dry.

To finish, I applied more stenciling and painted the sides using the umber paint.
