A new mixed media layout to share today.
I took the picture one evening at the harbour on holiday in Fuengirola. Though it rained a lot, by the evenings the sun had come out.
I've been wanting to up my mixed media game recently, I've been trying various different things but it either looked a mess (on the other side of this layout!) or didn't look 'enough'. I've been inspired by 7 Dots Studio for a while now but they always seem dark and dull (though still beautiful).
I'll explain briefly how I did this but I am planning a Tutorial using this process in which I will explain more in depth.
- Using acrylics, paint an area of the paper, be as messy as you want.
- Using a damp (but not wet) brush, use your fingers to spatter paint around the layout (consider your colour scheme here)
- Once dry, add backing paper, tags and washi tape.
- Stamp around the edges of your main coloured area.
- Spatter more paint over the layout
- Add your photo and gems/dots.
Thanks for stopping by!
