Mini Canvas mural

Hello again,

 Soon back with another tutorial... Today had created a mini canvas mixed media art mural...

pic following are the materials I started upon with...

feather chipboard cutouts are from craftsneed... 

first I applied  my  whole canvas with white sakura gesso and let it air dry... then I glued the outer frame which was there around the feather which gives a thin inframe design to my background.

then I had used geometric design stencil from craftsneed and randomly did my application within the inframe and allowed it to air dry too. later I double stuck  foam tape on the back of feathers to give more dimensional look. 

with the thaiclay from craftsneed I made peacock feathers and the corner molds and dried them naturally...below is how they turned out to be... 

these are the micro Styrofoam balls that I used them instead of artstones.. they are basically 2 sizes. coloured ones are very smaller in size than white ones... just a blob of white glue and sprinkle them on it wait until dry...

this was done and this is how it looks after all the elements are on the frame....

again 2 coats of gesso allover drying in between each application...

I felt the feather was too plain so I used my liquitex modelling paste and dabbed all over on feathers of chipboards and outer part of inframe ...

here I what I stated to give it a life with my pearl powders ...these are the powder which I had purchased 15 years back when I was making murals.. so thought of trying them again and they still had great bright pearlescent look ..used my fingers and brush both to move and blend colours.  On the left the pic is the first stage  of my colouring output...Since I had no word chipboards available or diecutouts I had to handwrite the sentiments on pearl paper...you can see them on right pic.

this was the final canvas after playing with my colours I was a bit unsatisfied with the way it was showing up since I love to work more with pastel colours so I again dab white pearl colour on peacock feathers and more red tone on edges of big chipboard feathers 

yes and now this gives a raise to those feathers to standout of the background...

so all done...please do leave your positive  comments below which will encourage me to do further tutorials...till then bye...
