Olga Ravenskaya: Cat and Spring Canvas and Photo Tutorial/Холст "Кот и Весна" и ФотоМК

Привет всем, девочки!

Сегодня очередь моего поста в Lindy's и нового фото мастер-класса.

Изначально я планировала сделать холст про любовь, все таки февраль, День Святого Валентина, вокруг все в сердцах :)

Но в итоге, получился яркий холстик про кота и весну. Хотя моя подруга Настя Корвякова считает, что это никакая не весна, а лето. Ну наше южное лето с ее питерским не сравнить, поэтому у меня все же это весна - первые солнечные дни, прозрачный розовато-голубой воздух, земля, просыпающаяся после снега, и кот, совсем как мой, подставил мордочку солнцу.

Как сделать такой яркий цветной фон - я рассказываю и показываю в мастер-классе, дублирую его из блога Lindy's без изменений. А если что-то будет интересно еще - спрашивайте, с удовольствием отвечу.

Hi gorgeous Lindy's friends!

It's Olga Ravenskaya here today with my new joyful canvas.

February is a month of love and firstly I wanted to create a canvas about love... But finally it turned out about a kitten dreaming of the spring.

I'm showing today how I created a background for my canvas.

Firstly I made a color combo that I associate with a spring. I picked five main colors - Bonjour Butter and Pink Lady Pink Flat Fabios, Sea Mint Green and Steampank Sepia Starbursts and Buccaneer Bay Blue Moon Shadow Mist, and made simple tags just to see how they would act with each other.

Exactly what I wanted! Such a color combo reminds me about first sun rays, clear transparent air and an earth beginning to wake up.

To start I applied white texture paste using several stencils.

Then I glued different materials to create an interesting texture - stripes of corrugated cardboard, lace and chipboard pieces.

Covered everything with two layers of white gesso and let it dry.

I began coloring from the top using Bonjour Butter, Pink Lady Pink Flat Fabios and Sea Mint Green Sprays. I used a brush applying sprays drop by drop to create color transitions.

Continued with Steampank Sepia Starbursts and Buccaneer Bay Blue using the same technique. And also added rich blue color with Bachelor Button Blue Starburst.

I wanted to intensify colors, so I dried the first layer and added the second one just spraying over it.

I also added the second layer of yellow and pink on the top of the canvas.

Then I mixed white texture paste with California Poppy, Oom Pah Pah Pink and Cathedral Pines Green shakers to get a beautiful pastel mixtures.

And applied them partially here and there with a pallette knife.

To say honestly I didn't use green mixture coz the shade didn't match very well to the greens of the surface. It's a sign for me to buy Lederhosen Laurel shaker, it has another shade of green with a slight blue shimmer!

Finally I added green accents with my favorite Edelweiss Moss Green Starburst using a thin brush. Look - my bottle is almost empty!

I highlighted chippies, stencil patterns and stripes of the cardboard.

At the very end after glueing all the embelishments I tinted flowers, leaves, art stones with Bonjour Butter, Pink Lady Pink Flat Fabios and Sea Mint Green Sprays to match them perfectly to the whole work.
