Perfection is Overrated - by Lanette Erickson

Hello All, You Amazing Creative People!

Today I am sharing a tiny reversed canvas filled with texture, color, and lots of creative details! For this project, I focused on the sentiment “Perfection is Overrated”—because sometimes the most beautiful art happens when we simply let go, get a little messy, and have fun creating!

I started by adding a mix of Finnabair Resin Elements to the background, creating lots of dimension and interest. Next, I added layers of texture before bringing in lots of gorgeous color using a mix of Liquid Acrylics and Impasto Paints.

Once I had my colors where I wanted them, I used dry brushing to bring back the details and highlight all those wonderful raised textures. I love how the layers of color and texture work together to create a little piece that is full of personality!


And, of course, I had to add a little dress form and some beautiful flowers to finish it off! After all… perfection may be overrated, but a little sparkle and a few flowers are always a good idea! 


Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I’ve inspired you in some small way to let go of perfection, get a little messy, and spend some creative time in your art space. Most importantly, have FUN creating!



Until next time,

Hugs & Have FUN Creating!

Lanette
