They are awesome for they come in strong, saturated colors and even after you add water, they remain vibrant. What I really love about these paints is that using them with water you can create beautifully delicate watercolor-like effects with a permanent finish when dry!
The main decoration for this project are Mechanicals elements, paper flowers and chipboards plus pieces of gauze and string to add even more interest and variety.
I covered the embellishments with gesso which made it easier to paint them the way I wanted. Gesso is ideal to prepare any kind of surface to accept all kinds of color media.
The final touches were made with Art Alchemy Aged Brass Wax.
I simply added it here and there, emphasizing not only the details of the fine elements, but also the whole butterfly.
Here's a video I made especially for you so you can follow the whole creative process.
Enjoy and feel inspired!

Our theme this month was "Attic Findings" and the main products - Patina Effect Pastes + Mechanicals.
I really love creating my mixed media projects on wooden substrates. I can go crazy with paints and various media and nothing bad happens with my base. This time I chose a plywood butterfly. For a project like this, you can really use so many things. These may be some flea market trinkets, "attic findings" like old, broken jewelry, watches or watch parts, buttons, or any pretty trinkets that grab your attention. Surely each of you will find something like this at home :)
After all things were added, it was time to use Patina Effect Paste. The effect is just amazing! We can easily transform any object into an item that looks as if it was found at the attic or sunk for long years in the sea.
To soften my butterfly a bit, I used Heavy White Gesso. I used a dry brush and a very small amount of gesso, only to highlight the details, not paint them. I'm not a fan of saturated greens, so now the results looks much more satisfying for me. Finally, I added clear Art Pebbles and a little bit of Glitter to this beautiful Lotus flower.
