DIY Creative Journey Mixed Media Canvas Featuring Pearl Drops and Resin

Hello Everyone,

Charu here! I am back with another lovely DIY project. This will be my last post as a DT. I would like to Thank all you lovely people, team Itsy Bitsy, my talented fellow DT members Anitha and Rashmi for all love and support.

My Creative journey is incomplete without Your Love and Support!

I was inspired by a resin art for this mixed media canvas.

So lets start with the project which gives a resin art look but is super easy on your pocket and quick to make.

I have taken a 8 by 8 inches watercolor canvas. This canvas is perfect to do watercolor as well as mixed media.

I roughly divided it into tow parts diagonally.

I prepared the mixed media paste with golden and yellow acrylic colors to make the sand for this project.

With the help of a knife I spread it across the canvas. I was not careful about spreading it as I wanted a rough texture for the sand on the beach.

Now for the sea waves, I am using Little Birdie Pearl Drops.

This is such a versatile product. You can make drops as well as other shapes with the pointed nozzle provided.

Meanwhile when it was drying, I quickly adhered sea shells , Mixed Media Stones to the sand with heavy gel medium.

I created some foam and painted the sea waves with cobalt blue and mix of cobalt blue and purple.

I also added some brown to the sand with acrylic color and I am pretty happy the way it is turning out.

Next, I added some blue pixie magic powder and beads from my stash to the sea. I also glued a fence to the canvas. I painted it with gesso and brown color to give it a rough withered look.

For the final step, I mixed equal amount of resin and hardener and spread it on the sea that I painted.
