The Next Set

I love this painting thing.  Making canvases. Mixed media playing.

This time I am doing a series of 3.

Ocean themed.

Scallops.

Embossing my own design.

 Here's my hand cut original stencil.

 Quite the masterpiece, eh?

I painted some watercolor paper first in this cream colored acrylic (Liquitex) and thought it was too creamy for my backgrounds so then I stenciled some gesso over it.

Here's one of my scallops. Still too light.  I used some Distress stain to darken it a bit and the embossing is a lovely resist.

I also added some Viva Gold sand media at a spot here and there.

My 3 canvases- UNFINISHED!

Getting there though.
I want to add some depth to this big scallop and something else where I left it blank and not embossed.
