Mixed Media Canvas

 

A mixed media canvas using using Gelatos and Art GRIP Aquarelle pencils. The canvas is 12" x 16" large and pre-primed.  I used some tissue papers, sheet music and patterned paper scraps to create the collaged background.  Using gel medium, I adhered them first and then used blue and green Gelatos over top of them.  Using water, I blended them with the medium to create a soft look.

Texture paste or modeling paste was added in a thin layer over parts of the collage.  I let it dry a bit and then stamped with a text rubber stamp and bubblewrap to create texture.  Once dry, I added a wash of gold Gelato over top to pick up details.
I used orange and yellow Aquarelle watercolor pencils to color some book papers and punched circles to add some contrast to the piece.

The final artwork is full of texture, color and fun details.  Here is another view:
