Monthly Mediums Challenge

The Plaza Artists Materials Cincinnati Clifton branch is the host of our employee mediums challenge.  It is the art retail supply store where I work.  We employees have taken it upon ourselves to work with a variety of mediums each month.  The medium is chosen for each month and this latest installment is all about acrylic paint mediums.  In my last post I showed you some in progress pictures of the pieces I was working.  Well I finished the wood nymph and she is now residing at the store for a month before she travels to the Essex Studios for Decembers art walk.  Unless of course a customer at work falls in love with her and wants to buy her.  Her companion Oak Man is not finished but, I will be working on him this weekend.  So without further ado here is Wood Nymph an experiment in acrylic mediums and mixed media.

Wood Nymph is 12x16 inches mounted on a stretched canvas for structural support. I used a variety of mediums and paint techniques on her.  There is a textured handmade paper that was applied to the surface of the panel before the figure was sculpted on it.  Then I used Super Heavy matte gel medium to create additional texture.  Next a layer of crackle paste was applied in a few areas.  Once that was all dry she was coated with several coats of Gesso.  Then the long paint process of glazing layers and a dusting of metallics for a bit of shimmer.  It took me approximately 14 hours to complete her.

That's it for today.  I hope to post Oak Man sometime this weekend when he is finished.  Thank you as always for stopping by.
