♡ Steampunk Heart ♡ Mixed Media Canvas - Step by Step Tutorial

Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial: STEAMPUNK HEART with wooden cogs and gears, black background and acrylic paint.
It was great fun to make this mixed media canvas. The heart is made of recycled cereal box. I used matt black acrylic paint to the background. You could use black gesso as well. I also used turquoise, orange, metallic bronze and gold acrylic paint.
Great Valentine's Day craft idea as well - especially for anyone who doesn't like traditional pink! :)

Thank you so much for demonstrating this artwork. I've been interested in making steampunk art for four years and finally have the time to get started.

[@jennyburrow8752]

Really beautiful work. Not expensive to create especially with school kids. Thank you so much.

[@gusrettke6043]

Good points about adjusting the presence of the heart against the background.

[@jackiegfeller]

I have watched this a couple of times and learn something new each time! Thanks...

[@auermediaartscrafts]

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that! ❤

[@maggiehartart]

Beautiful piece! You explain your process very well which is much appreciated ❤. I am so curious about your method to make gears out of cereal boxes so I’ll watch your video on that! Thank you for sharing your art!

[@eleanormay729]

Very beautiful! I love how you explain every step. Thank you.

[@laurieanne2724]

So easy to follow your steps! Love it!

[@pampenick4981]

LOVE how you use every-day items that we would throw away! Great art!

[@j.c.nightwalker5322]

Wonderful artwork. Thank you for sharing the process with us.

[@TheDoktar]

Very nicely done and not to dissimilar to the way I do things. Well done .

[@erarebirth]

I appreciate you showing how you fix the things you didn't like. It helps give us ideas for how to fix our pieces when something happens that we don't like :)

[@auermediaartscrafts]

Allison Andrew , thank you! ❤ Everything doesn't always go as planned, and we all learn from our mistakes! 😊👍

[@tonilyday1917]

Thank you so very much. You are the first artist that demonstrated and explained the process that made sense to me. Obviously, I am not an artist, but I long to try my hand at this. I have subscribed as well. Thank you again.

[@PerfectlyImperfectJunkJournals]

Wow this is very creative. Clearly shows that you are a creative master! Love it!

[@accenttraining4professiona864]

I love your creative process and clever use of household items. It makes me feel like I can do mixed media without spending so much on supplies. I also think you did a great job narrating in English- I’m an English tutor/teacher so I can say “good job”!

[@auermediaartscrafts]

Accent Training 4 Professionals , thank you so much! 😊 Yes, you can start making mixed media with just basic supplies - and it's fun! 👍

[@cindyreitz984]

Gorgeous! And I loved watching the process!

[@usha9807]

i love that, it's not too much...some of the steam punk things i have seen before are just covered in stuff and it looks very daunting. I am not usually a fan of steam punk but i really like your canvas, and can't believe it's mostly cardboard, just stunning!

[@auermediaartscrafts]

Usha , thank you so much! 💕 I feel the same way, too much is too much!

[@xnina9]

I totally agree! This is an easy to follow tutorial and the piece is not overwhelmed by too many items. Gorgeous piece!

[@jackiegfeller]

Very nice! Just right! Love it!

[@cgelmore488]

Thanks! So pretty

[@ruthkiley6292]

Hello Ruthie again. Have you ever considered making your own gesso media parse? There are many ladies who explain how on You Tube. Just a half cup of powder or cornstarch ( I added ground kids chalk for sandy texture), white glue and a tablespoon of any color acrylic paint you choose and a little water. It works wonderfully. Than so much for sharing your wonderful talent and time to teach us “ Newbie” ! 👍😉❤️

[@auermediaartscrafts]

Ruth Kiley , I've made texture paste using gesso, baby powder and acrylic paint, but most of the time I just use ready made pastes as they're so easy to use! 😊

[@anniefaint6373]

Love this,,.
