A Day Under The Sea- Mixed Media Canvas

Hello everyone,

Fairuz Fabiha here and welcome to the EC blog. Today I’ll be sharing with you an altered mixed media canvas.

Today’s project is inspired by the ocean and under the sea creatures that mainly came from the expressions craft May challenge mood board. I was inspired by the lovely blues and golden color scheme from the moodboard. 

So here the base used is an old canvas and I’m using it upside down. The composition is done using expressions craft chipboards, natural seashells and corals as well as some clay embellishments and paper cutouts. 

At first I have used EC heavy white gesso to prime the base. Then I’ve used the beautiful bloom stencil along with the dazzling diamond glitter paste and pearl stencil paste to add some textures. For more textures and interest I added the mini and mega deco stones around the composition as well as used dusty rose, frosted silver, right coral punch, intense blue, antique bronze and finally turquoise blue embossing powders from immix. And for coloring the whole thing I used hunter green and mermaid song metallic paints tea cup teal and old metal rust chroma burst and finally royal peacock sprinkle mist.

For highlighting the elements I’ve used jingle shells, Tuscan red, and soft glitter gold metallic paints and amber gold chroma burst.

Finally finished off the project with some dye cut leaves which I colored Using cranberry kiss chroma burst and persimmon sprinkle mist.

All of the products are listed down below along with the website link.

"Hidden treasure" mixed media panel

Hello hello everyone,

How are you all doing these days? This is Madhurima here at Expressions Craft blog page and today I will share with you all a marine-themed mixed media project. 

My project inspiration came from the animated character "Little Mermaid" and was so tempted to create something magical and mysterious with the beautiful newly launched marine-themed chipboards from Expressions Craft. My most favorite has been the mermaids and the mermaid tail along with the sea coral one. To color the background I have used chalk paints, sprinkle mist, metallic sprays, and have used metallic paints for the embellishments. I had tried to recreate a scene where a treasure chest had sunken into the ocean bed and the mermaids are totally enchanted and filled with curiosity seeing the mysterious things it contains. And they are dreaming of the ships and faraway lands.

Here are my project pictures.

*** Products used***

1. Medium - White gesso, Natural desert texture paste, texture paste

2. Chipboard - Bubbly waves, sea corals, sea creatures, mermaid tail, mermaid

3. Chalk paints - Antique linen, Sweet pea, Tiffany, Aquamarine, Sea foam

4. Metallic sprays - Waikiki Bay, Emerald Sea, Royal peacock

" We wander together" mixed media canvas

 Hello guys,

This is Madhurima here, and I am here at Expressions Craft blog page with yet another inspiration. Going by the marine-themed mood, I have decided to play with the sprinkle mists and metallic sprays on a black background this time. And I must say I was totally blown away by the unexpected and amazing results. 

I have tried to create an underwater scene where there is darkness all around and no glimpse of sunlight. How the corals and other sea creatures dwell in there and how a pair of jellyfishes are wandering together to reach the ocean surface searching for light.

 Here I am sharing my project pictures with you all.

Hope you all liked the project today.
