Finnabair: Canvas Space stories by Olya Kravets

Hello lovely creative friends! Today I'd like to share with you my new Art. This time I wanted to create a picture for a cosmic fantasy. After all, we can make a very interesting and individual project with materials for mixed media. A variety of textures and shades-your best assistants!

I started by applying a texture paste to create a relief on the canvas. I chose two stencils, one with a large pattern from 7 Dots Studio, and with a smaller one, this is “Manuscript” from Finnabair. It's always great to combine different sized identical materials.

In order to add color I started with thick Impasto Paints. They are dense and very beautiful, with them you can feel like a real artist! I started with light shades and gradually added dark ones.

I used Metallique Acrylic Paints for more shine and variety. Here I applied them with ordinary sponges tapping on the canvas. This is a simple but cool technique!

Little by little I worked in different shades of blue and purple, adding a White Gesso in the middle for light accents. Added Mica Powder to make even more shine and highlight the relief.

I also drew a planet and made it three-dimensional with paints and gesso. A little more constellations and splashes and space is ready!

I invite you to watch my video tutorial to see the whole process of creating my project. Enjoy!

I hope you are inspired by my video and already choose your favorite products to create something new! Be free in your creativity and love what you do! Create with your soul, tell your stories and your feelings, share with us and love what you are doing!
