Helmar



Hey everyone just a quick one from me using my favourite Helmar adhesive 
I have a little technique I want to share with you 
Our glue is not just for sticking things together it can help make good backgrounds for your projects 


I used the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive (I’m inpatient and need things done quick lol) this glue drys slightly raised unless you smooth it down of course


As you can see I made lines with the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive once it was fully dry- it’s best to let it dry on its own


Unless you want more texture - the heat gun causes bubbles in the glue and will leave a very bumpy texture 


As you can see where the glue is it creates a resist type effect so the paint doesn’t go where the lines are and you see the colour of the canvas come through
I used watercolours to paint with but it works with most paints 
It will wipe off the glue areas if you get it on there and it happens to stay there 



To finish off my little canvas I just added an acrylic flower mould and a little heart which I also used the Helmar 450 on


And that’s it for my quick technique 

Thanks for visiting and I hope you’ll be back soon xx
