Fossil canvas panel by Monika Maksym

Hi all!
Monika here with my very first post for the Andy Skinner Creative Team. I am very excited to share my projects with you!

For my debut I've decided to make a canvas panel.

Firstly the whole surface was primed with gesso. Stencil, modelling paste, stamps and a little bit of sand helped me create stone and fossil effects.

 

 

Once dried, whole panel was painted with chalky finish paints and layered with a few washes of fluid acrylic paints to achieve aged look.

Then I've stamped and heat embossed some of the images to add even more texture and interest to my piece. 

To finish it off I've darkened edges of my  panel and  slightly splattered it with black paint.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like it
Monika
