Pure Metal Mica Magic with ColourArte

Hi Friends

I had a post on the ColourArte Blog using Vivid Ultra Metallics and Bronze Medallion Primary Elements Art Pigments ........

I started with creating texture on the canvas panel using some chipboard and stencils and modeling paste,  then added a piece of plastic mesh and some beads in different shapes and covered all with white gesso

the first layer is Vivid Ultra metallics in African Jade

then Teal Zircon…..

added Cherry Sorbet Primary elements ……..

allow to dry between layers of colors….. I added Blue bayou and Black china and misted.

For the focal point I created a heart shape out of air dry clay and stamped with a text stamp…

I covered the heart and the sentiment with Wine & Roses, Silks Acrylic Glaze which is a beautiful deep red-lilac wine in a violet-red pearl. dry brushed with Bronze Medallion, Metallic Pure Mica Minerals (PM-013) to highlight the texture and create  the melt metal effect on canvas.

Thanks Cards using Primary Elements Arte-Pigments

Hi Friends

I have a new post on the ColourArte blog with these cards 

 I started by creating a mask for my background stamp as I wanted a more organic form than a rectangle and applied the stamp through a hand torn mask of card stock

I sprinkled Snapdragon, Sunburst and Summer Breeze Primary Elements , these are water activated pigment powders and spritzed with the Solution+water to get the water color effect . 

added some die cuts and splatters in Egyptian Gold and snapdragon

I made another one with Summer Breeze for the background

Added Kiwi Primary Elements Arte Pigment in modeling paste and used through a stencil…added die cuts and mounted on to mint color card stock

I think I was able to capture the shimmer of Primary elements in the picture below ……….

 I do hope you would take the time to visit the ColourArte blog where I am sharing the easy steps to create these cards and also the recipe for the Home made water colour ground which allows you to treat and use any card stock as a water color paper.

Masked beauty...... for ColourArte

Hi Friends

my post for ColourArte today......

I started with a plastic mask in gold colour and covered with white Gesso , added a flourish die -cut on one side……..

I doodled free hand with a three D outliner in Gold and copper to add dimensional doodles. You can also use Ranger stickles etc to get the same effect.

Crackle paste and heavy gesso to create more texture

you can see the cracks forming here….

Selected colours of Primary Elements Arte Pigments, The solution and water in a mister bottle ….

Here is the mask after sprinkling three shades of blue and spraying with the The solution mix….

adding Black Cherry…..

adding Solar Gold....

Mixing Back Ice Primary Arte Pigments with ColourArte Glaze Medium.....

Covered the mask with the Black Ice Glaze and wiped with a wet wipe …..

This in one step creates shadows around all the texture ……….

see the contrast here …before and after adding black Ice

Enhanced the texture using metallic lustre in silver and Gold dry brushed on to the raised areas……

please visit ColourArte blog here for a complete tutorial and pics. I have a slide share video for you too there.
