I am using a wooden canvas for this art piece, which means it is very porous. Start by adding three coats of Americana Buttermilk to your background. Lightly sand your canvas in between coats. 

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your flag with a stylus.

Paint your stripes with red paint and white paint, and paint the square with blue paint. You will need to add multiple coats to get the coverage you would like! Add lighter blue paint as well as white paint to create some dimen...

We are using a 4x12 canvas to create a glass cross on a pretty black and gold background. I'll show you exactly how I paint the background and create my cross out of glass strips. We'll also add some extra crushed glass and resin to bring it all together! This one has minimal painting and is a great beginner project if you're just getting started with glass art!

First, start by painting your canvas front and sides with black paint. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

I'm using Splendid Gold Metallic paint and applying it to my canvas with a palette knife. I want this to be very organic and natural looking, so I'm just lightly running my palette knife diagonally across my canvas. I'll do this several times until it looks the way that I like. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

I have glass strips that I will be forming into the shape of a cross. These are fun iridescent glass pieces and I used a gold paint marker to draw on the edges of my glass. I'm going to take some tacky glue and sec...

I'm creating a beautiful Dogwood Cross on an 8x10 canvas with a pearl paint background. I'll be making my cross out of purple glass strips and then I'll be adding a Dogwood flower in the center with pieces from a glass vase. We'll finish it off with some seed beads, Starfire glass, bubbles, and resin!

First, I am going to paint my background with Metallic White paint. I am adding two coats of this, and drying it with a heat gun each time.

Then, I'm going to take my purple glass strips and form my cross. I'm going to lay them flat and stack them, gluing them to my canvas with tacky glue. I'll add some Starfire glass around my cross. Finally, I'm adding green seed beads to the center. 

Next, we will add resin. We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 1 ounce of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Then, drizzle over your glass. Pour the remainder of the resin onto your canvas and spread it using your gloved fingers or brush.

Then, I'm taking the Dogwood flower peta...
