Art Time...by Helen Chilton

Hi there, it's Helen here and I've made a little triptych using some of the whiteboard panels:
What I really wanted in this post was to try out the 13 Arts Magic! Powder which is a little pot of wonderfulness! You can mix it with paint, as I've done here, or sprays or powdered media to make anything into a texture paste.
Get your paint ready (I've mixed two of the Multi Surface paints here) and add some of the powder, a little at a time:
Mix and mash well until all the powder has disappeared:
And then scrape through the stencil:
It's just like using corn flour to thicken a sauce (not that I cook if I can help it!) and also quick drying.
I've done two layers of stencilling on the middle panel in light blue and yellow:
If you're using a powdered medium I think you need to add some clear mixed media gel to wet it - don't know if water would work as well? I can see more experiments coming up.
I've used one of Magda's stencils and Flat Matte sprays to make the bears. Some of Lynne's words finished them off.
Enjoy!
Helen

Such beautiful textured panels Helen. So much gorgeous detail and colour and the 13Arts powders give a lovely effect too.
