I worked a few more pages using Michelle Ward’s Street Team Crusade #25. Remember the page from yesterday? Well here it is with a coat of yellow acrylic added over the top then sprayed with a water spritzer. I took the heat gun to it for about a minute and then used a paper towel to blot off the water droplets. I wiped off the yellow from the center of the pear as well. Pretty cool, huh?
I decided to leave this page as is and start another one using Gesso as a resist. Here is that page.
This page has 7 layers of paint. Each layer has at least one Gesso’d image on it. You can still see the one layer of red towards the upper right and the echo of the stamp. Same thing with the yellow on the lower left. I tried using the Gesso with my script letter stencil and it worked out very well. This will become one of my favorite techniques – it is simple to do and creates a wonderful layered look.
Thanks again Michelle for another fun fabulous technique.
