DIY canvas to make beautiful decor in your house

A good way to inspire yourself and your art is to try a new media or technique.  Shake it up a little. Although you may have a process that works for you, push yourself to expand and learn.  Finding inspiration in experimentation is easy.  Look at the work of another artist.  Find out how to use a new material.  Ask other artists about their techniques.



Works In Progress

Step#1   Add textures to canvas with glue.

These swirls are actually pressed paper pulp.



Step#2

Cut droplets from recycled and handmade papers.   This usually takes several days.

My images are about the texture and movement of water.  They are made of small “droplets” of water (papers and textures).





Step #3  Glue pieces on canvas paying attention to how each piece affects the movement of adjacent pieces so there is a flow and dance of textures.

Step #4  Gesso.  I use two coats of gesso to seal everything in place.

OK, here are the finishing touches.

I added a thin layer of oil paint mixed with glaze.
