Finnabair 101: Matte Waxes

 

Work on this box with Ceramic Wax Matte, use and take advantage of the fact that they are completed with a dull matte to give color to the background and give an appearance of aged wood with different color streaks. 

I worked the background with aluminium embossed with embossing folders and glued it with Gildding glue to then place white gesso and my wax set optimally. I loved playing with the colour of the Matte Wax, because it gives me the appearance that they are Impastos or acrylic pigment but they are Waxes. 

I love working with this wonderful product such as the Wax Matte, since you can work with various techniques to give different finishes. 

I hope you enjoy this mini tutorial!

Hello creative friends, we don't always think of using Finnabair's matt waxes, yet they can be used to completely colour a project as I suggest here or to be used in combination with the metallic waxes. 

I hope you like the very matt finish of my project.

Vintage Dragonfly Canvas by Karla Neira

I present you my next installment corresponding to the month of July 2023. This time I worked on a composition with a vintage finish, in a steampunk style, where the dragonfly represents "freedom and maturity in time". Work with mechanical parts and a clock to represent time and as a focal point the dragonfly symbol of freedom and balance!

I loved working with this composition! I used earth tones of liquid acrylics.

I hope you enjoy this mini tutorial
