I was trying to create a piece with newpapers and whatnot but it didnt work out for me. it kept falling apart. how were you able to achieve the overall look?
I cut out sections of newpaper and used gloss gel medium to adhere them to the canvas. I always put a thin layer directly on the canvas, then on the back of the newspaper to ensure there will be no air bubbles or anything. Then I use a flat brush to coat the newpaper clipping in a thin layer. I press down gently to make sure the newpaper clipping is smooth with no wrinkles (plus it gets rid of any air bubbles you missed). If you don't want it to be too glossy, you can also use matte gel medium.
After the newspaper clippings are in place and dry, you just paint until your heart's content. (b ^ _ ^)b
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
