Happy Koi Canvas

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to another fun project using a Creative Canvas and Dew Drops.
I saw the Happy Koi Canvas and really like it, as it can go a number of ways, as you can paint it or color it in a variety of ways.




Ingredients I used:
1. Creative Canvas:  Happy Koi



2. Paper Artsy Paints:  Blue Bayou, Venice Blue, Agave, Dessert Brush, Squid Ink
3.  Arteza Acrylic Paint:  Peach
4.  IZink Pearly:  Winter Sky
5.  Stickles:  Frozen and Crystal
6.  Ice Stickles:  Artic Ice
7.  Chip Brush and pallet knife.

Directions:

1. Apply Winter Sky Pearly with a pallet knife - let dry natually.


2.  Apply Ice Stickles, as desired


3.  Apply Frozen Stickles


4.  Apply matte finish paints with a chip brush to add texture over the dried Pearly.


5.  Paint fish as desired with Peach acrylic paint, as desired.



6.  Add crystal Stickles on the non painted fish surfaces.





7.  Add Dew Drops as accents on the water.  I used the blue from Hydrangea Dew Drops  Use liquid adhesive to keep them solidly on the Pearly background.

I do recommend you work on this canvas slowly and let everything dry between layers.  Lines can be touched up with a Pitt Pen in black.



I hope that you enjoy this canvas!  Have a crafty week.
