Patriotic Tie 🇺🇸

We are creating a patriotic tie art piece perfect for a Father's Day gift! This is going to be on a 6x12 canvas and I will be showing you how to paint this tie from start to finish. Then, we'll add some seed beads to finish it off and make it all come together perfectly! 

Grab your tracer, tape it to the canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and transfer your tie with a stylus onto the canvas. 

I'm going to take a flat paintbrush and paint the shirt area of my art piece with white paint. I'll also paint the stars on the top of my tie with white as well. Then, I'll take some Midnight Blue and paint the top of my tie and the top corners of my shirt area. Next, I'll add Cherry Red paint to two of my tie stripes. Add a second coat to these areas as well as some shadowing and highlights.

Add some white paint to your other tie stripes and then add a tiny bit of red to one stripe and a tiny bit of blue to the other white stripe. Dry with a heat tool.

We are going to do the V on the inside of the shirt. I am going to paint this with Beached Sand. Then, I'll add some definition to the lapel of the shirt and around my tie with some gray paint. I'll also paint the rest of the shirt with white paint and a little bit of gray mixed in.

Then, I'm going to take a DecoColor Premium Metallic Gold pen and shake it well. I'll add a touch of gold to my red stripes and the blue areas of my tie as well. Then, I'll take a graphic pen and add some detail lines around my tie and collar. I'll also make a tag and write "Made in the USA" on the top of my shirt collar. 

We are going to resin first and then add some seed beads. 

We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 1/2 ounce of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your canvas and spread it using your gloved fingers or brush.

Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!

Sprinkle Dark Red seed beads on your red stripes and Crystal Luster seed beds on your white stripes. I'll also sprinkle a little bit on my stars as well.
