Riikka Kovasin | Rusty Rockets - a FB live recording @RiikkaKovasin | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on February 18th. The topic of the live was making a mini mixed media canvas with a rusty look.

During the live show I altered a blank white canvas, shaped like a rocket, into a rusty bucket. First I added some texture to the piece using drywall tape, then added elements on top using gel medium. After drying, during the live by swapping to a pre-made version, I painted the project with black gesso and then added metallic paints on top. I finish the rocket with some metallic wax and a pebble.
