Backgrounds: 3 Ways of Applying Lindy's Sprays/3 способа использования спреев Lindy's для создания фонов

Привет всем, девочки!

Я вернулась из отпуска и немного с задержкой публикую мастер-класс, который чуть раньше вышел уже в блоге Lindy's.

У нас сейчас в Lindy's выходит серия постов от каждого из дизайнеров с различными базовыми техниками и приемами, которые можно использовать в дальнейшем в любых работах.

Мой мастер-класс посвящен тому, как можно, используя вырубку, создать разные фоновые эффекты со спреями Lindy's, лишь меняя способ их нанесения.

Дублирую свой мастер-класс здесь, он, как обычно, на английском, но если будет что-то интересно, спрашивайте. С удовольствием поясню и расскажу.

Hi dear Lindy's friends!

It's Olga Ravenskaya here with my new step-by-step about several ways of applying Lindy's Sprays.

Do you know that you may get different effects depending on which technique you use working with the sprays?

I'll share today how to achieve watercolor, multilayered colors and bokeh effects with some tips.

I've chosen for my mini canvases yellow, green and teal shades of Sprays.

 

The first steps are the same for each canvas.

To begin, I went over the surface with a antistatic pillow to get a sharp and clear print of stamps.

 

I stamped using an acrylic block and sprinkled with two colors of embossing powders - Twilight Jade Slate and Desert Moon Turquoise.

For the other canvases I also added Yodelling Yellow embossing powder. Warmed it with a heat gun and got beautiful sharp designs as on the photo below.

 

Then I prepared diecutting elements and arranged them on the canvases. For diecutting I usually use heavyweight watercolor paper.

 

Glue the elements using any transparent medium and cover all the surface with a clear gesso.

 

Well, all the canvases are ready for the further painting.

To achieve watercolor effect you will need a soft brush, a palette and your favourite Lindy's sprays.

I began with pale colors - Bling-y Blonder, Yellow Rose of Texas and Merci Beaucoup Mint Sprays applying them carefully from the top. Use the brush and let the colors flow free and mix with each other.

This way of applying sprays allows you more control over the colors and their intensity.

Little tip: firstly wet a bit a surface with a clear water.

Continued with more vivid colors - Time Travel Teal and Drop Dead Gorgeous Green Sprays.

If you want to get deeper colors - let the first layer dry a bit and add the second layer using the same technique. The background will be more interesting in that case as you may see on the photo below.

For the second canvas I used a classic technique of applying sprays - just spraying from the bottles.

It's a good way to get vivid, full bodied multilayered colors!

I began also with Bling-y Blonder, Yellow Rose of Texas and Merci Beaucoup Mint Sprays for the top and Time Travel Teal and Drop Dead Gorgeous Green - for the lower part.

 

Let it dry very well and add the second layer.

Little tip: spray on from the 10-15 cm distance to control the colors otherwise you have a risk to paint all the surface with a one color.

 

After complete drying I covered all the surface with a gloss medium - it acts as a resist effect. And then glued additional diecutting elements.

A layer of a gloss medium or a wax allows you to paint upper elements with more pale shades making them visible on the more dark background.

So I used Bling-y Blonder and Merci Beaucoup Mint Sprays for the upper elements.

And for the third canvas I used one of my favorite technique imitating bokeh effect.

All you need - sprays and a firm fan brush!

Wet a bit a surface, take a little quantity of sprays on the brush, keep it in parallel to the canvas and tap on the brush.

You will get a an airy background consisting of many many tiny drops.

 

I began with light colors and then added more intensive ones.

 

Now all the the canvases look like that. Do you see the difference?!

 

As a final touch I glued above several diecutting elements previously painted and covered with a Claerly Clean embossing powder.

And here is a result! The backgrounds are ready for the further work if needed.

Watercolor effect.

Multilayered colors effect.

Bokeh effect.
