Altered Canvas Project

Here's my step by step to make an altered canvas like this one:

First, rip and adhere random pieces of patterned papers on the canvas... you can leave some blanks too...
Using a card, apply a little bit of gesso all over it to soften the colors...

Find some stencils, or like me a map and a glass, to draw some designs over the background... I used a gray pencil...

I diluated some blue alcohol ink with water to color the inside of my circles and french map in light blue...

I cut the cute old family picture, and adhered it in the corner inside France...
:)

And I finally coloured the white chipboard letter with different alcohol inks and water (for a watercolor effect)



Have a great day,
