Hello! I'm Priss.
When I created these small canvases for the March release, I wasn’t thinking about them as individual pieces. I was thinking in layers.
Each decision was already connected to the next one — from the choice of the decoupage fiber, to where I would later place the composition, and how much of the surface I wanted to keep visible.
Instead of approaching them as finished designs, I used them as a way to explore how different materials interact when you build gradually: transparent pastes over changing backgrounds, soft transitions of color, and controlled areas of light and texture.
Working this way allows me to guide the result without forcing it.
Even when the process is the same, small changes in color, composition or application create completely different moods and outcomes.
In the video tutorial, I share the full process and how I build each layer step by step — from preparing the surface, to adding texture, color and final details.
I also explore how to control shine in a more subtle way, using pebbles and texture to integrate it into the piece instead of letting it dominate.
These canvases are a good reminder that layering is not just about adding more, but about creating relationships between elements — so everything works together as a whole.
You can watch the full tutorial here:
I hope it inspires you to experiment with your own combinations and discover what happens when you let the layers guide you.
Happy creating! 💙
Priss
