Pink and Gold Heart ๐
Create a stunning 4x4 pink and gold heart shelf sitter canvas that’s perfect for gifting or adding a touch of charm to your space! This project combines textured palette knife painting, rich acrylic colors, and sparkly seed beads to bring your heart to life. With layers of pinks and metallic gold, you’ll craft a piece that’s full of dimension and personality.
Begin by applying Liquitex Basics Iridescent White to your canvas using a palette knife, adding texture and depth with each stroke. For a more dimensional look, you can extend the paint onto the edges of the canvas as well.
Next, let’s shape the heart using the same Iridescent White and a paddle palette knife, which has a wider blade and a curved top. Load your knife with paint, press down, and sweep it towards the bottom of the canvas to form the two sides of the heart. Don't worry about perfection—embrace the organic, textured feel!
Using the same palette knife, swipe Masters Touch Acrylic Pink, Masters Touch Acrylic Purple Red, and Masters Touch Acrylic Antique Gold (metallic) inside of the heart. Let dry.
Next, we're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Put on rubber gloves. Mix 1/2 tsp total of ArtResin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour about half of the resin onto your canvas and use your gloved fingers or brush to spread it over the entire piece.
Next, I'll sprinkle Crystal Luster Seed Beads and Transparent Pink Seed Beads. Drizzle the remaining resin on top.
Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!
