Mixed Media Painting


Hi there

In the last month or so I wanted to create something using a completely different medium. 

I decided to get out my paints and brushes and see where things went. This is what happened, a fun mixed media painting using acrylics, sparkly nail varnish, stencils and fantasy film.

I started by creating a background and adding highlights of nail varnish, I then cut a stencil of the background birch trees and used acrylic to put them in.  When it was dry I used more nail varnish to add the highlights.

Cutting out the front trees from acetate I painted one side, glued them to the painting and used very tiny balls to stick them onto the branches of the trees for colour and texture.  I added some grass put on with a palate knife and finished it all off with some leaves and flowers, again made from fantasy film.

I just had so much fun doing this picture; using mediums I haven’t used in a long time so do let me know what you think of the end result.
