Little Canvas

Hello. Just a quick little post to share with you my little canvas I made for my Off the Rails Scrapbooking tutorial. I've been going through the colour wheel with members, showing them all the different ways to combine colour. This time the tutorial was all about "Monochromatic" colour schemes.



So I made this little mixed media canvas to demonstrate how to use such a colour scheme.


I used Gesso, LOTS of Gesso, some water colour Inks and Colour Spray Mists along with a small collection of paper flowers and a gathering of embellishments, the feature of them being the little Prima resin frame.


I've given this to my Aunty as she's just recently built a new home and I thought it would make a lovely house warming gift, hence the title "Home Sweet Home".


I do love the monochromatic style. I use it often, especially in my White With One challenge entries. Well Like I said, just a quick one from me this time.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers

      Thanks Lizzy. I think we forget the mono is an easy pleaser sometimes. Should pull it out more often!

The only artist you should ever compare yourself to is the one you were yesterday.
