Oh my goodness!!!
I
am so happy to share with you this fabulous
fun,
bright fishy project with you!
I have had my two granddaughters
here with me visiting and we went to see Finding Dory! It was so hot the day we
went! We were wishing we were in the Sea swimming with the fish! It was so much
fun and GREAT inspiration for this piece!
Some of you know I love
to draw and paint. So what is better than to combine the two together!!!
I will show some of the
steps that were taken to achieve this beautiful bright fish with the beautiful
bubbles.......if I do say so myself!!!!
The first thing I did
was sketch out where I wanted the fish and how she was to look. Once that was
done, it was time to grab my DecoArt Media paint and get started! If your not familiar with DecoArt Media paint it is a Fluid Acrylic paint. You can read about them HERE.
I grabbed every color
that was bright! Very unusual for me!
I started with the
background and when I pretty happy with it I went on to the fish!
I didn't follow
all the lines that I drew and I added different details that I did not draw!
These DecoArt Media
colors are so FUN!!!!
I LOVE the Green Gold,
it is so pretty!
I continued to add
color and decided on rainbows for the fins!
And those BUBBLES!!!
I just love how they turned out!
I thought why not try
some Glitter Glass on parts of the painting? Let's give it a try and see what
happens.
Beautiful!
I added some to look
like coral at the bottom of the picture. I added the white thinking coral is
white and it would be pretty, see what happens after the resin was applied!!!
Using EnviroTex Lite I
mixed it according to manufacturer’s directions.
Add part A and part B
together and mix for 2 minutes. If you would like to learn more about EnviroTex Lite please go HERE.
Pour into first cup and mix for 1
additional minute.
And pour over painting!
I had never used this product so I was ohhhh so nervous!!!!
Look at all those
bubbles, I thought I may have done something wrong! But NO, it happens and you
can use a lighter and or a straw to remove them!
WHEW! Was I nervous!!!!
So, so happy with
the way this turned out!
My biggest dilemma was
that both of the grand kids wanted it!!! Oh NO, how do I choose???
My niece has a little
girl who has her room decorated with under the sea decor, she gets it!!!
One last
thing........White Glitter Glass does not show under the resin!!!
It's GONE!!!
Always learning something
new!
