Flower With Background Mini Canvas


Here's another mini canvas with a new attempt at an alcohol floral painting. The canvas is covered with white acrylic paint. I let it dry.

I spread Alcohol Blending Solution on the canvas. I put three dots of color and solution on a rectangular felt applicator and pressed it into the canvas. I sprayed it lightly with canned air.
I followed that with a circular felt applicator and using a circular motion pressed it into the canvas and sprayed it with canned air. I let the canvas dry for a few days.

I tried for a flower shape over the background print on the canvas. I dropped dots of red ink and blew each one with the canned air lightly.
I placed a bit of orange alcohol ink on a palette and picked it up with a small paint brush, dotting the center of the floral form until it had a bumpy shape in the middle something like a floral stigma.

Knowing that I had trouble (not enough strength in my fingers) spraying my last floral canvas with Kamar and Gloss Spray with UV, I asked my husband to spray the first can of Kamar 3 times with at 30 minute intervals. I waited a day and then my husband sprayed the can of Gloss once. Kamar actually brought out the colors nicely!
