Not a lot to show on my work desk this Wednesday…I started a mixed media canvas at the weekend and although I have thought about my design I haven’t done a lot to it yet!!
I’ve done a few of this style of mixed media….adding texture, paint layers, drawing a design and then shading and highlighting, above is a ‘Sea’ themed one I did a few years ago. This time I fancied doing one on a Home’ theme which I have stencilled at the bottom with texture paste.
Now comes the fun bit….COLOUR….I never know where this style of art will take me, hopefully I’ll have it finished to show you next Wednesday!
Hope you’ve been inspired, pop over to Julia’s blog for more creative desks 🙂

ps. the mini love hearts were from my husband on valentines day….I’m wondering how long they’ll last!!!
Your sea themed collage is beautiful – such wonderful textures and colours. I’m really looking forward to seeing how your new collage turns out. Have a great week,

Thanks Diana x
Looking forward to seeing your Home canvas especially if it turns out as well as your Sea one. Have another creative week x Jackie 24
Thanks Jackie, with all the lovely comments, I am quite inspired lol x
have fun finishing your canvas, that’s the fun part about mixed media I think, you’ll never know where it will take you. I use Dylusions a lot by the way, these are actually to replace some that are nearly empty, maybe you can use them on you canvas? Vicky#7
I would have to be brave to do that ha ha x
aww I never know what will happen when i create either. Do have fun 🙂 Thanks for the visit earier . soojay xx
Very inspirational, I have wanted to do some mixed media art for a long time but I never seem to get round to it. I love the sea painting, and look forward to seeing where you take the home one

I like the beach one – very nice. Can’t wait to see the colours you put in this one. Hope we do get to see next week!
Have a great week

A lovely beach themed canvas. Looking forward to seeing the next one finished.
If your HOME canvas is anything like your SEA canvas, it will look gorgeous! If you add a third one, you’ll have a set to display next to each other! Lovely stuff! Thanks for visiting earlier! zsuzsa #40
Love your sea scene…. Not sure about the white sharpie – it seems to write on anything though which with white pens is a big plus! I love it! thanks for stopping by Helen #1
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Love your sea canvas! Great colors. I’m drawn to anything ocean related.

Mid-project always feels so promising, who knows what’s going to happen next? Will have to check back next week to see the progress!
Thank you for your visit this week, I appreciate it. Got the animals cut out and the prints copied, they turned out pretty well. I’m going to frame them next!
