Welcome back to my channel! In today's tutorial, I'll be guiding you through the process of creating a minimalist mixed media artwork using just a few acrylic colors, gold spray paint, and some simple tools. This piece is inspired by the texture and design of old hydraulic tiles, bringing a touch of vintage charm to contemporary art.
What you'll learn in this video:
Prepping your canvas with a thin layer of joint compound or modeling paste.
Applying gesso and creating a smooth base for the artwork.
Layering acrylic paint with water to achieve soft tones and using gold spray for a striking contrast.
Using newspapers and sponges to create unique effects.
Adding fine lines with masking tape and blending techniques.
How to give your artwork a vintage, patinated look using burnt umber and white highlights.
Materials used:
40 x 40 cm canvas (16 x 16 inches)
Joint compound (or modeling paste)
Gesso
Acrylic paints: Flesh tone, Burnt Umber, White
Gold acrylic spray
Sponge, Spong roller and Sponge Stick
Masking tape
Newspaper
