Artful Faces Mixed Media Canvas

Inspiration: I found this 12” x 12” burlap canvas a local craft store. I brought together face and frame moulds to create a fun composition. I hope this inspires you to create something fun! 😊

Description: I brought together moulds, chipboard, gears, mechanicals, and other items adhered to the burlap panel. I then added pebbles, crackle paste, and texture paste. All the three-dimensional items were covered with gesso, then liquid acrylics blended with water. Once dried, I added waxes to highlight the details throughout and finished the piece off by adding acrylic paint platters. The piece measures 12” wide x 12" high x 2" thick.

Description : This Mystical Masquerade mixed media piece started with the shadowbox and the head piece.
