Decoupage on canvas is one of very useful technique I have learned at the course.
It taught me literally, how to paint a background around a motif that those two create one consistent wholeness. I saw some of the work made by my teacher in her workshop and I was really amazed. From far one couldn’t see that it wasn’t a painting. Only when look closely one could notice that there is a precisely cut out motif glued to a canvas and the background is painted around it. It’s a beauty of decoupage!
We had many choices of motifs, but I have picked up this one. Maybe because of the sentiment to dogs. ;)
Must admit that I have had some difficulties, but with a bit of help from another girl we made a quite good piece of art! ;D
[…] The design was not big enough to cover a whole box. This same situation we had for example here, here, here and here. :D I invite you to the Gallery. See different designs and work methods. […]
