My eldest daughter likes my paint pouting efforts and she has asked me to do one for her dining room, and her favourite colours are green and purple
I thought it would be about 12x12" and so I said yes.
Then she said "It's the one with Audrey Hepburn on it " and I knew that it was a biiiiig canvas.
This is it and it is a good 30" square and you can just make out the print underneath.
I have painted over it with white paint to block out the print. Sorry Audrey !!
I used a really cheap house paint to do this as the canvas is so large and it would have been very expensive with acrylic
Once that was dry I did the base coat in white paint ready for the pour.
I had to lay this out on my garage floor because of the size and make sure that it was all level before I poured otherwise it would just run off the sides.
Once the Paint is spread out evenly I can get ready to work on it.
Then I had to mix my colours ready to work with. I used Arteza Acrylics and I mixed two shades of purple, and one of them was metallic, into separate cups.
I mixed up three different shades of green and a beautiful gold and one of pewter
Stupidly I started to pour and forgot to take photos of it as I did and so I have nothing to show you of that part.
But this is a section of it as it was tilted and once it is completely dry I am going to add Gold Leaf to highlight the gold in it.
And I really hope she will like it when I give it to her to hang in her house.
I will take a complete picture of it once it is finished to show you the end result.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
