City of Night mixed media project by Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends! I've been having a lot of fun playing with the latest liquid acrylic paint sets recently but felt my metallique paints were being neglected so decided to use them for this months project! 

I had some little chipboard houses that I'd put together for a project that I never got round to creating so I started to wonder how I could incorporate them into this project. By cutting them in half I realised I could use them on the canvas, adding some lace and other embellishments for decoration.


After a coat of black gesso I decided to create a galaxy effect for this project with the chipboard elements as a city in the stars. To create galaxy backgrounds I like to slowly layer the paint, watering it down to create soft edges, and building colour with new layers. This way you can create a look of depth and texture.
