My Pebeo Experience

Inspired by artist and demonstrator, Sheena Douglass, I spent some time creating canvas boards working with Pebeo Products.

Cern Releif
Acrylic Dyna Paints 
Prisme Fantasy in turquoise colour
Gold metal leaf
Buttons
Stencil
Modelling paste

This first one is on a canvas board 10x10cm. The smaller size canvasses are a good place to start whilst you are building your confidence.

I used a stencil to create the foliage and a gold pen to catch the glint from the sun as it was dropping in the sky.

 I played around with where the light was coming from on this next one.  

With this next one I was having some fun using some transparent cerne relief outliner and PVA glue to create the squiggly lines.  Once dry I was able to paint with irridecent acrylic paint and use some Prisme Fantasy paint. The canvas was painted black to begin with.  I then created the circular shape with modelling paste and allowed it to try before continuing.  I like it and may have another attempt at it now. 

Now the final canvas.  This one is larger, 10"x7". I started off by painting my canvas black then used some modelling paste through a stencil to create texture.  Next I laid out some buttons and adhered them into more modelling paste.  I then did the same with some string.  Once dry I was able to lay down some cerne relief on top of the string so that when it became dry and tacky I was able to lay my gold metal leaf over this.  

When dry I used my irridescent paints to paint the canvas.  

I think I did Sheena proud and would like to thank her for the ideas and getting me started on this journey of using acrylic paints in my mixed media.
