We're so excited that Kate
Crane will be joining us to share her mixed media tips and tricks and knowledge
during next Saturday’s Deco Art One Day Special that we asked her to give us a
few pointers on how to get the best mixed media results with some amazing
products. Check it out and let us know what you think!
In preparation for my up and coming TV
shows for Decoart on Hochanda I wanted to share some of my favourite techniques
using DecoArt Media Fluid acrylics and Tinting Base.
These paints are so highly pigmented you
can build up great backgrounds using just one colour. Here I added lots of
stenciling and stamping and some touches of neutral black and white. Great for
mixed media projects or even greetings cards.
I also like to mix multiple colours and
build up lots of layers as seen on this gothic arch. Again I added lots of
layers of stamping and stenciling.
Because DecoArt fluid acrylics are so
pigmented they easily lend themselves to being mixed with lots of water for a
watercolour effect, brilliant for backgrounds:
Just add stenciling and stamping for more
layers and yummy texture:
And finally, I just love getting messy with
a gelli plate. It’s unpredictable messy fun!
See you soon on Hochanda TV!
