A simple layout to enjoy the sunshine.
The base I have used here for making this canvas is a pizza box.
I covered the entire pizza box with home made gesso.
Allowed it to dry overnight.
I added some birds which were cutout from an old newspaper. Painted the birds with watercolor.
I drew the sun with markers.
Then I added some ribbon to decorate the canvas and a flower made from a plastic milk bag.
Mix 3 parts of water with 2 parts of white glue. I've used Elmer's school glue.
Add talcum powder ( I have used Jhonsons baby powder) to the glue-water mix until you get the desired consistency.
Thanks, Joan of Art
