Calm

Hey Everyone

Doesn't this photo make you feel calm

This is my gorgeous cousin Keira she's a very serene, spiritual soul and loves 

all things in the outside world 

Her husband Kadex took this photo (he has taken some amazing photos) in Bali 

I made a video of the process I did to create this canvas which was quite an adventure LOL 

 You can watch it here on my YouTube channel

Sorry about the quality I don't know what's happened so if anyone can help please let me 

know so I can fix it xx

When I saw the Dusty Attic Mandala stencil I knew I had to have it 

I used some of the Finnabair Impasto Paints I watered them down so they mixed a bit 

I painted whited gesso over the stencilled area after I painted it then rubbed it back so the gesso stayed in the grooves of the stencilled area

The background has about ten layers on it LOL 

I couldn't decide how I wanted it to look and kept covering it up with gesso in 

then end wiping it back gave it the look I liked 

I embellished with a few bits I don't think this canvas needed a lot the photo 

has to be the main focus so just a few flowers, a metal feather, a jar of "crystals"and 

a large crystal and thats it

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will be back soon xx
