CHRISTMAS CANVAS ON WOOD

Muy ilusionada por mostraros mi primera inspiración como parte del gran  equipo de Mixed Media Warriors, para esta primera inspiración y dado que ya tenemos a la vista la Navidad he creado un Lienzo Navideño sobre madera con unas técnicas muy fáciles de trabajar y pocos materiales.

Very excited to show you my first inspiration as part of the great team of Mixed Media Warriors, for this first inspiration and since we already have Christmas in sight I have created a Christmas Canvas on wood with very easy techniques to work and few materials.

Os muestro un poco mi paso a paso, primero aplico gesso a todo el lienzo, esto es para que al crear el collage la madera no absorba la cola que voy a usar para pegar el collage, realizo el collage pero solo alrededor del canvas, reservo la zona central para el decoupage con servilleta. Aplico tres colores diferentes de acrílica mezcladas con Glazing medium esto es para que la pintura quede transparente pero a la vez siga teniendo cuerpo y permita ver el fondo del collage,lo aplico con un pincel dando toques sobre el collage mezclando la entre si, a continuación sin dejar que se seque la voy moviendo con un plástico arrugado para aportar textura extra. Una vez seco realizo el decoupage con la servilleta.

I show you my step by step, first I apply gesso to the entire canvas, this is so that when creating the collage the wood does not absorb the glue that I will use to paste the collage, I make the collage but only around the canvas, I reserve the central area for the decoupage with napkin. I apply three different colors of acrylic mixed with Glazing medium, this is so that the painting is transparent but at the same time keep having body and allow to see the bottom of the collage, I apply it with a brush giving touches on the collage mixing the between, then without letting it dry I move it with a wrinkled plastic to provide extra texture. Once dry I make the decoupage with the napkin.

El quinto paso es aplicar sobre un stencil Decofoil Transfer Medium ,dejo secar hasta que esta mordiente y entonces aplico el Foil en esta ocasion el Rose Foil .

The fifth step is to apply on a Decofoil Transfer Medium stencil, let it dry until it is biting and then apply the Foil on this occasion the Rose Foil.

Para la decoración de estrellas he usado un fondo de  chipboard con copos de nieve, al que aplico diferentes capas todas  ellas dando pequeños toques con un pincel desgastado, primera capa pasta ferro, segunda capa acrilica winter blue, tercera capa pasta de nieve con glitter y para finalizar unos toques con acrílica oro. Sobre la servilleta aplico en algunas zonas de los abrigos glimmer glam que da un brillo espectacular. 

For the decoration of stars I used a chipboard background with snowflakes, to which I apply different layers all of them giving small touches with a worn brush, first layer ferro paste, second layer acrylic winter blue, third layer snow paste with glitter and to finish a few touches with acrylic gold. On the napkin I apply in some areas of the glam glimmer coats that gives a spectacular shine.
