Quintessentially English

Time for a new challenge at PanPastel UK and this week's theme is 'Red, White and Blue', so I have gone for a London themed canvas board.

I started by cutting chipboard to size and covering it with artist canvas, painted it with Maimeri gesso and left it to dry thoroughly.

I stamped Indigo Blu images onto tissue paper and added, gave it a blast of heat and then covered with a thin coat of gesso. Using a variety of London themed stamps I coloured them up using PPs and adhered them to the board and then added some blue PP to Tim Holtz picket fence distress crackle paint and used a palette knife to add it to the edges.

Once dry I added more gesso using a credit card  and through some masks, finishing with some doodles.

I loved making this piece and I will certainly be experimenting with making more canvas boards to create mixed media projects.

Your Creativity Store is our regular sponsor and will provide a PanPastel starter set as the winner's prize.

Have a wonderful Sunday and hopefully some creative time for yourself.

Take care.
