How to: Mixed Media Canvas - Explore

[@OlgaKhaskilevich-pf5or]

Гаечный ключ - квинтэссенция этого "произведения" . Ужас...

[@sylysyly9759]

Can you use black paint instead of black Gesso...i only have white

[@sharonpilcher9052]

Thanks so much for this! I became inspired & made a canvas using small stones & sticks in place of steam punk materials. I was unable to get the spritzer to work. So I brushed on gold & blue.

[@lucyleo2912]

Hey, new sub! I’m just getting into mixed media and loved your canvas. Can you link me to your video about mixing the acrylic paints into misters... Hope you done a vid, ty :)

[@torageirs6473]

where can I find you video on mixing the colours to get the sprays??????

[@delygirl1961]

Who would have thought that ya junk draw (everyone has 1 draw in the kitchen) that all useless shit gets put into - usually only ever sorted out, when moving house or mega spring clean. From now on I'm keeping it all - who knew it could be made to look so good. Wow yet again you blew me away. I NEED those sprays. Could u use the sprays and Jesso on card stock for making Birthday cards extra xx 10/10. Keep them coming I'm addicted Hun

[@nancykareka6237]

If doing this technique on wooden box is glue gun or gel medium better to adhere the metal and chipboard embellishments. Sorry for the questions but could not find wooden box tutorial on your channel. Thank you 😊

[@pamelastansbury1407]

great! was that black acrylic paint you put on at first of video, or the black gesso?

[@Cre-Art]

Very nice. I had no idea where you were going when you first started. It was a nice surprise. :)

[@steampunkriveted8000]

Very nice. Do you have the video to make your own spritzer?

[@catherinemcgannon2104]

Very nice i would love to try one of these.. Thanks for sharing

[@tiinahimmanen1012]

Oh Amazing, I like very much

[@AndreaKidman]

It looks stunning. You are really good at this type of art.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Andrea Kidman Thank you Andrea! It's one of my most favourite ways to create!

[@jaki5104]

Brilliant, it looks so scary to do till you see the process.. Ty .. Jane.k.

[@Red50able]

I'm glad I found your channel ! Love your work!

[@dircefia6259]

Super like 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@anikapaldi7161]

So well-crafted, Mike. The end result is both gorgeous and fun at the same time! I enjoy this technique very much, as all of that painstaking glueing of objects is quite meditative. I don't know if they sell E6000 in your country, but it can hold even the heaviest objects on a substrate. Of course, the fumes are just awful, so I like the idea of a glue gun for the lighter stuff - wouldn't have thought to use it for this, so thanks! Keep the vids coming!

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Anika Paldi Hi Anika, I've never seen E6000 on sale in the UK! I'll try Ebay! Mx

[@Craftytionery]

I clearly understand how you explained the tips and techniques and it helps me a lot as a newbie in the world of mix media..

[@jacquipettitt3389]

Fabulous!!!!. Am watching spellbound!. Thanks for sharing.

[@josiegitto8928]

Great canvas !!!

[@aria3803]

Hey! I wanted to ask, can I do something like that to my journal? I'm really into steampunk art, and I was wondering if adding pieces and findings would be a problem to close the book etc. Oh and in one video of yours, you asked about the balkiness of the book, one way to do it is to add the least amount of water possible or just begin with the pages in the middle and work your way. Or you can just tie it with a string or put books above it to reduse it kinda. Hope it helps x

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Kat Hi Kat, yes doing this on a book cover is ideal. I have three books/note books that I've done this to. Just remember that the more bulk the harder it will be to lay flat for writing or drawing in! I never decorate the backs..only the fronts. Mx

[@NeverHopelessbyElizabeth]

I love the way you created this!! Absolutely lovely 🌺

[@sharonpilcher9052]

Thank you.

[@mmmariam100]

[@pkluske]

I love this 'steampunk' type of art and thank you for showing me how to do it. I look forward to you describing how you make your sprizters.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Pauline Kluske I'm just putting the finishing touches to my paint spray video, so watch this space!!

[@faaizasayed149]

[@specialk8927]

Very nice

[@tashafreeman4265]

This piece is great! I think you should say "Superb" more often :) it sounds excellent in your accent. I'm anxiously waiting for the next video!

[@paddywood89]

Love it, you make it look so easy, and I like your doggy in the photo as well!!!! Patricia New Zealand

[@rock5149]

[@lynnearlyriser]

Your speed is perfect. Thank you for sharing ! I do have one question - the Jim Holtz Stickers - you are not worried that they will fall off over time ?

[@dianerichard-pierson9269]

[@JaceWilliams]

Stunning!! (I am a new subscriber!)

[@NettanJuni]

You have the best junk. I knew I shouldn't have listened to mom when she told me to throw away bits and pieces :P

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Dreamtears Noooooooooooooooo, never throw away.....keep it safe in a box...you never know! I even have shotgun cartridges in mine! Used I might add! Mx

[@NettanJuni]

I managed to save some things and I started to collect stuff right away. I might need a bigger box soon :-P

[@NettanJuni]

Don't worry, I have a nice and big collection of junk again, I can't help but pick up something if it catches my eye. I have mostly keys though. When I'm writing this you are 2 subbies from 1800, congratulations ^^

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Am I....good grief, I was at least 40 away this morning!

[@MRVICTORCRAFTER]

Really LOVE this canvas!!!

[@MikeDeakinArt]

MR.VICTOR CRAFTER Thanks Victor.

[@rosemcguinn5301]

Gears AND roses???? Wow--I love it!

[@gailcross2295]

Hi mike love your work. Just a question I don’t have a heat gun. Do you have to use one or can you just wait for paint to dry naturally.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Acrylic paint doesn't take too long to dry naturally (depending on your local climate!) A hair dryer will work just as well - just don't hold it in one place for too long!!

[@LindaBellangelkisses]

One word, FABULOUS!

[@doreenb1837]

Really nice canvas. TFS.
