Mosaic Backgrounds for Mixed Media Video Tutorial

 

I've been experimenting with some Mixed Media canvases that were inspired by Gustav Klimt - and this is the second in the series (but actually the first that I'm sharing on my blog).  So this was a great project for the challenge at Design Memory Craft/ Faber-Castell, which was to make a piece inspired by a piece of art. 

I also used Lindy's Stamp Gang January Color Challenge to pick this soft palette. I didn't use the exact colors that they suggested, but I used Cocklebells Coral, Southshore Sand, Gag Me With a Spoon Gray, Geranium Coral Blush and Queen Sheeba's Silver 

and thought that I matched up pretty close.

 The Art Deco lady was a vintage black and white photo that I printed onto silk and colored with Pan Pastels.

 But there are lots of really fun techniques that I've shared, on a new video.

 

I hope you will take a few minutes to watch - and let me know what you think!

 

I'd love for you to follow my YouTube channel and invite your friends!

So now....Here's the video!
