Clay floral design on canvas

Wednesday, July 15, 2015

Hola !

Am back with some more work of mine to share :)  . After making a lot of mixed media artwork involving clay, I got obsessed and made another canvas with clay. I had finished making it in January but somehow forgot about it later. But now, its all out. The paints used here are acrylic and the clay is painted in gold color.


This canvas was meant originally for a painting depicting an Indian women. I started working on it last year, but somewhere during the course, I didn't like it anymore. So I colored it all black. I had no idea what to do on it. Later I tried little horizontal strokes with green and red colors. That background looked really appealing. Then I later added gold strokes. And then I thought, now what???
And right then, clay came to rescue ;)



I looked up the internet and  found this simple floral design. I made the sketch using a pencil and then started working with the clay. As always, took small pieces of modeling clay, rolled it into a thin long string. Applied glue on the design and placed the string on it. And allowed it to dry. And after few hours of work for several days, I ended up with this. It looked very beautiful in white, but to match the background I painted the clay gold. Now it looked pretty descent.


I hope you like it.
