Summer Sunsets on Canvas
With Gelli Arts © Printing Plates
and
Deco Arts Americana Premium Paints
I am excited to be asked to collaborate with Deco Arts and
Gelli Arts to create this project. I chose to create summer sunsets on canvas crossbody
purses and a canvas board for framing.
Supplies I used are the 5” x 7” and 8” x 10” Gelli Arts
plate and the Deco Arts Americana Premium Paints. The Americana series of paints are very
creamy and stay open (slow drying) so I can free hand paint them on the gel
plates and not have to hurry to pull the print. I also used Deco Arts Fabric Medium to help
bond the paint to the fabric. I mixed a
few drops into each spot of color on my pallet.
I used gesso mixed with some of the fabric medium to pre coat some of
the purses. On the ones that were not pre coated I felt the paint soaked into
the fabric too much and was a bit dull. I liked them all either way, just a bit
of a different look.
