Easy Colorful Wall Hanging with Guest Artist MixedMedia Jenn

Today’s post is by Guest Artist MixedMedia Jenn. Somerset Place would like to thank her for her contribution and amazing artwork. 

 

I love creating art on smaller-sized surfaces. A small substrate doesn’t seem so overwhelming. With a smaller piece there is not as much pressure because if you hate it, just toss it and start again! Also, these smaller pieces take less time to make, which is a big plus in our busy lives.

I wanted to use some bright, cheerful colors and these Dylusions Paints do just the trick!

By starting with modeling paste thru a stencil, it adds interest and texture to the background without a whole lot of work.

I turned today’s 5 x 5 piece into a wall-hanging, but it could easily have been a card front, a mini-canvas or even an art journal page. Enjoy!
