TUTORIAL - HOW TO MAKE A MIXED MEDIA CAVAS WITH LOTS OF TEXTURE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- I've become quite smitten by making textured and layer upon layer mixed media canvases. I've taken inspiration from both Finnabair, Mike Deakin, Maremi SmallArt and other talented mixed media artists :).
Here's a full length film, from start to finish, on how I made a mixed media canvas, with both stencils, die cut cogs and junk yard findings. It does have a steampunk touch to it :).

Here are some examples of what products one might use in order to create cog wheels :).

I’ve watched this off and on all day and throughly enjoyed it. No annoying music , no chit chat just talking us through the process. Bravo ! I learned so much. 😊
Thank u
I just came across this video and it is my perfect kind of video. Shows everything in real time, explains everything, no music and what a beautiful piece of artwork. I’m new to this and will watch again and try to make mine as nice as yours.
I’m so grateful for your time, talent, knowledge and sharing❣️
In gratitude, Shirley.
Going to check out your other videos.
Thank you for letting me know that you found this video helpful :). One never knows what will work :). I'm glad it works for you :). Happy Crafting!
I absolutely love watching you videos Sari. I think you are a brilliant artist. Hope your well 😊
thank you so much for your kind words :)...
Beautiful art piece. Thank You for sharing your creativity
thank you :)
I’ve only done a few mixed media canvases, after years of painting in different mediums, and I loved this video! Piece by piece with your thought processes, was fabulous, and no annoying music or time lapse. Thank you, I’m having a go at something similar tomorrow.
Glad to have found your video. Still adding value in 2024. Yes it’s long but lots of great tips and ideas for new crafters. Hope you’re well and thank you for taking the time to share your creativity. Take care
Thank u for such a nice comment ;)
Not only are your videos very well done, I don’t have to mute somer awful music! You’re so talented, thank you for sharing all your wonderful creativity!
Thank u for a nice comment ;)...
I'm glad u like it ;)...
It was great to see one of these being made from start to finish without it being speeded up or like Christine said below with music playing. I feel I can make one of these canvases now that I've seen how you build it up. Thank you for doing this for us newbies!! It was really good!
This was wonderful! I am a painter, but have fallen in love with this kind of art. I truly like the "real time" video's , part of the process of learning a new craft is listening to the thought process of the artist as she/he makes their art. Your running commentary was informative and entertaining. Thank you for your time!
Learned so much from this. Thanks for showing every step and keeping it real. Worth the time to watch.
u r welcome :)
I loved your video and not too long at all, I am a beginner and just trying to get the confidence to start now I have most of what is needed and some "junk" too. It is always good for me to watch and learn, the longer the better and nooooooooooooo music. Thanks again
thank u... and welome to this wonderful world of crafts :)...
This may be the most helpful video I’ve ever watched on placement of pieces! Thank you!!!
I'm glad I could be helpful :)...
Thank you for sharing, this is truly a masterpiece and I'm so grateful that you showed the tutorial from beginning to end. You made it look effortless.😮❤
aaah... thank u :)
Thanks so much for this tutorial! You provide all the details that beginners like me need to get started!
Totally enjoyed your video. I have played it quite a few times. It has been very helpful and I appreciate seeing what you do to make such a gorgeous and interesting piece from start to finish. Thank you.
This is very intriguing, I have to try this, thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I don't think it was too long at all, it's an art that takes a bit, that's all! Thank you!
😍😍😍
Long video, yes, but very informative. I learned so much. The time was worth it. Thanks for sharing. Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Great job 👍 Worth every second of the video. Thank you
Thank u :)
Tusen tack! I loved watching how you built up the three dimensional layers. Very inspirational.
I love this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. It has been the catalyst for my switching to mixed media. As a result, I've become a veritable bower bird, collecting all manner of bits and pieces, and incorporating them into the canvas. I've tweaked it a bit by spackling the board first and texturing it, before I overlay the embellishments. I've also been incorporating some wire work (from my jewellery days) into the mixed media.
That sounds like a whole lot of fun... 😍😍😍
Sari, I learned so much from your demonstration. It may have been a little too long. In areas where you are doing fairly lengthy procedures you might want to pause the camera and then come back with the finished stage. You are a delightful teacher and I love your artwork.
yep!
WOW! I adore the piece you made.

Thank u... I'm glad u like it 😁
Just found your video - liked that you showed all the steps - wasn't too long. Please make more!

I posted another Mixed media tutorial last week... 😁
These are all beautiful! You do fantastic work. The one you are thinking about painting white is gorgeous as it is. I love 💕 it!
Love love loved this video. This is the most interesting mixed media I've seen yet. I want to try this but I need to go back to the beginning and watch it again before I start on mine. Want to see more of your work. I have subscribed and liked with no problem doing so. Thanks so much.
thank u and welcome 2 my channel :).
Sari! I have been waiting for a tutorial like this for ages! I am so grateful to you for being so generous with your time AND your talents--you have no idea how much this has allowed for me to take the plunge and attempt this style of art! Thank you for inspiring all of us by sharing!
Isa Jacovino
U r welcome 😁
Love,love, love,
your mix media canvas
It Looks amazing!
Thanks!
Be Blessed
Thank u ever so much for such a lovely comment :).
Mesmerizing....... I'm not a crafter or scraper at all I watercolor and just started doing Acrylic pours......ran across your vid and I love it.......Your lesson was most inspiring....thank you and I too love your paints......I'm going to start saving my bits and bobs........and just recently cleaned out a junk drawer......treasures lost forever, I'm afraid.......I'll start again :)Thank you so much!
Holly-Anne Lloyd
I'm glad to hear that I was able to inspire you 😁...
It was not my intention to start another project with an altogether new set of supplies....but I am........Thanks again....I'm going to enjoy my new adventure!
I enjoyed your video. I especially liked the use of the hot glue to create the water effect. Thanks for your hsrd work, and willingness to share your creativity.
thank you...
u r welcome :)...
Sari, you know I love your work, I've said so, many, many times before. The video was long but very interesting to see and hear your thought process. I have all that going on in my head and to hear you go through it ...in some strange way made me feel I can enjoy the process and it's OK. ..rather than beat myself up for indecision and pontification. TYFS. I'm glad your pause button didn't work...Hugs always, Kate 😘
thanx... perhaps this was a happy accident :)....
Sari, I'm an old Finn new to this media. It was long, but I learned so many little techniques, that many people doing videos assume we all know.
Ps. Couldn't quite figure out your accent at first, but the name is pure Finland. Love your work and will be a loyal watcher. Pat
MadHatters Original hi Sara, loved watching your video, it was a little long but worth it to see the process. Thank you.
I thought it was a great video. I learned some new ideas from you and got inspiration. I like your down to earth manner. I did notice that when you became really involved in your work you did not ‘chat’ with us. I would definitely watch more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
thank u for a nice comment :)... it's not always easy to talk and be in the creative zone at same time :)...
Thanks ever so much for making this video. I learned a LOT from you. Now I can begin to use my "collection" of the items I've been hoarding for entirely too long! I look forward to more of your mixed media instruction!
I am really new at mixed media so I appreciated the length of this along with all of the explanations of why you did what you are doing and what you wanted to accomplish next. Your piece is WOW and my hope is I can do as well.
i'm glad u liked it ... i'm sure you can make something wonderful :)...
it was great video and not boring at all. You show and explain to us very very well.
Margie Diamante
Thank u for a nice response... 😍

Thank u 😁... I'm glad u like it 😁
Absolutely amazing art. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 Not too long as it was very in-depth. Necessary for novices like myself. Thank you for sharing. Have already a nice collection for my first Steam Punk canvas. 🤗
I love you're personality! Great sense of humor. Artwork is gorgeous!
I like the occasional long process video. It helps me learn new techniques. And I can always fast forward if I only need a few pointers. I really like your assemblages. Thanks!
Buenos días y saludos desde Barcelona. Soy simplemente otro fan suyo maravillosa obra me pongo manos a la obra. Fantástico vídeo muchas gracias por compartir.
You are welcome... 🤩
Loved this video, not too long. Lots of information and ideas, I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of art. Hugs
Thank you helping me make my creation. It's drying now and tomorrow I will dry paint it. You did an excellent job in teaching me. Thanks so much
u r welcome :)...
i enjoy real-time videos.......i learn so much more from them
Thank you Sari. I was quite taken with the entire process. Seeing it from beginning to end was like poetry.
Loved every minute of this video! Learned a few new techniques as well, so thank you! I will be giving this canvas a try!
thanx... It's a nice way to try something different... good luck :).
Watching you create this canvas was awesome!!!! I've recently become so intrigued with this type of creating. Beautiful work thanks for sharing!!!!
Jamie Costa
Thank u 😁
I love your imagination and eye for design. Wish there was a video on how to teach oneself to have such vision. Your work is so interesting and your videos are inspiring. Thank you!
I just found your videos today. Your video was great, you explained every step which is so helpful to those who want to do mixed media and is afraid to jump off. Thanks for the hard work and look forward to watching more.
Thank you ;)...
I throughly enjoyed your video. I love how it was in real time and step by step. Now I understand the layering and cluster effects. I got comfy and wrote down notes for myself. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m going to give it a go. 👍👏💞
I'm glad 2 hear u like it and feel inspired to someting similar :)...
Thank u for a nice comment and good luck with the project ;)...
Love your video and love that your video is long and it's not speedy..listening to your thought process is very nice..Thanks
Sharon Kay
Thanx 4 letting me know 😁
Sari, Thnx for a beautiful tutorial. I love how you work & I usually shy away from black period. this is an amazing canvas and I love the glue drips it adds such texture and massive grungyness to the piece. LOVE IT!!! Great job! Thank you so much for your work.
saintsdancenrome
thanx 😁....
I’ve recently discovered mix media & Tim Holtz. I’ve been watching tons of videos and this is one of the best I’ve seen. It’s creative, not overly complicated and I really liked the project. Thank you and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Hoping to start creating soon.
thank u...
I'm glad u like it :)...
Prachtig leuk om te kijken❤
Wonderful, I’m a mixed media beginner and found this video very instructive. The end result is beautiful
Veronica Bickley thank u... and Good luck crafting
Sari, this video was great. I am so glad you didn't edit it. You are a great teacher. Love the finished product. Of course, new subscriber here!

thank u, and welcome 😁
Fantastic video! Love your art work!
thank u :)
I love watching real time videos with no music, and this one was very relaxing and helpful. I'm just starting out and this has been very inspirational and instructive. Thank you for taking the time to make this, I hope you have more similar on your channel.

Hi there...
I might have something else... I'm not sure... 😱
There are tutorial of different sorts...
I am already a fan of your voice! It reminds me of my friend from Australia.

A comment that like makes me smile 😁...
Liked what you did with the hot glue. I’ve never tried that. Video was great because although long you gave great tips. I might have added a touch of copper or white dry brushing just to add some contrast but lovely project. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. I've designed a few of these types of project but have been scared to do any of them for fear of screwing things up. You've just convinced me to just jump in and do it. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
Elizabeth Kilbride
Thank u... 😁
Stunning work! You make it look so easy. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i really enjoyed seeing and hearing your thought process. i enjoy that just as much as the piece being made. i like the "interaction" between the artist and the audience. i never enjoy videos that are sped up with just music playing.
thank u 4 letting me know :)...
Enjoy seeing your process.thanks
It's been some time since you did this video, so not sure if you'll see this comment. As I'm relatively new to mixed media, this was full of great tips for me. I've watched the whole thing a few times now, as I get my mind ready to try doing this canvas this for myself. Everytime, I learned something new. Thanks for posting this!!
aaah... I'm glad u find something new every time :)... It's the same way for me... Sometimes there's just too much info at once :)... I'm glad u like it :).
@ I've finally got mine all put together, and it's all gesso'd, just need to add color. I'm debating whether to do pastel colors (out of my comfort zone!), or follow your example. Think I'll give it some thought...lol. Nice knowing it can be gesso'd and recolored, what I love about this kind of project! Thanks again!!
This was very good to watch. I'm branch new to assemblage art and your explanations and step by step will be very helpful. :)
thank u for that :)...
Wow! I have learnt SO MUCH from this video! Thank you! 😀 Love your work, the way you work and look forward to seeing more of your work!!
Rachel J
Thank u 😁
I love the way you use junk items and or home made crafts in your work, most youtube crafters seem to put on heaps of dollars worth or store purchased craft things like flowers and metal embellishments etc.
Sari, not at all boring...sometimes seeing the whole process can be very enlightening...crafting is not always about speedy outcomes, for me anyway. I wish I had access to some of your supplies...those Jacquard Lumiere paints look fabulous! I will have to try and source them here in Australia...they produce a wonderful effect...you have given me so many ideas! Thanks, Dixx
thanx...
I got the Lumiere paints a couple of years ago... I love them, but don't use them often enough :)...
Dianne Ayers. Only wish I could afford the Lumiere paint. I've got one.

I loved the finished pieces.very scientific.steam punk type.great pieces.thanks
u r welcome... I'm glad u like it :)
Your artistry is spectacular... I've enjoyed your work very very much
velda lowery thank u 😁
It is very much my pleasure... i believe that you have a beautiful gift from God
Love these, really interesting. Thanks for the tip on gluing the hot glue sticks together!
I'm glad u like the video :).
Love, Love Love it!! I think i know what my son will be getting for Christmas now LOL
That was very helpful, I always have a problem knowing what to use to stick things down, metal to canvas, wood to metal etc, so thank you for all the tips, very useful info. 👍🏽
I'm glad I could help :)...
I found the video helpful to help feather my artistic skills. Even know it was a long video I enjoyed it, Steampunk is my favorite style of everything.
I'm glad to hear u enjoyed it :).
Your welcome. I like doing art my self. I have been making a Steampunk jewelry box lately. It's not finished but it will be soon.
Very informative video, and definitely not too long.
Thank you for sharing.
thank u :)
I enjoyed watching this video and found it very informative as I want to have a go at doing one myself. Thank you Hazel
u r welcome :)...
Love your work.
thanx :)...
Omg I’m happy to find this video. I’m about to start a steampunk canvas, this has given me the insight into making it.
i love the video in real time!! Thanks for doing it..I often see people's mixed media projects and it looks so hard..now I know I can do it! ~Dana
if I can do it, anyone can do it :)...
I 2 feel like it's a bit scary to start working on projects like these :)...
Loved this piece, first time watching your videos. You asked for feedback so I'm going to give it. I loved watching a video but it was very long I had to fast forward several times. I know a lot of people are able to hit fast forward somehow in their own videos when they post it to speed up the process but so that people can still see what they're doing. Maybe something like that would be better in the future? Again I really enjoy your art this was really fun to watch. Thank you for taking the time to post it.
Great video - I learned a lot from watching your process and I'm inspired to try this myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Valerie Lawson
thanks for giving me such a nice comment
I'm so in love with This! Wow! Gorgeous! I can't wait to try your style now!! I do all of my videos live so they're real time and I truly enjoy real time videos! So thanks for doing real time and for sharing this amazing project!
thanks...
i try to see my shoots as live shoots...
what u c is what u get :)...
sometimes I get it wrong and sometimes it goes all right :)...
Love it, appreciate your talent. I also an glad there is no music soundtrack. I would like to try this. The only thing I would change is stop sniffing! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge. Will watch more of your tutorials.
This video was very informative. I enjoyed seeing you put the elements down in their natural color and blackening later. Sometimes black on black is very hard to see. This was excellent information for me as I am going to create something similar in the near future. Cheers!
kippis! (cheers, in Finnish) :)...
Fantastic video! Very informative for a beginner! Thank you!
Judy Onody
I'm glad u like it 😁
I love it...i took your idea and made one and it sold lol thank you so much
brenda hariton
Great 😁
Thank you I enjoy and learn so much !
I'm glad to hear that :).
I loved your outstanding video! Not boring at all! Showed me exactly what I need to do because I want to make something similar to this. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with all of us. I hope to make my own video one day showing something similar and I'll give you credit since you've taught me a tremendous amount about how to do this. :-)
thank you for your kind words :)...
Fabulius tutorrial. I learnef a lot. Thank you.
Mary O'Sullivan 😁
Inspiring!
love it!
Wow, fantastic. Wow,vilken häftig tavla du har gjort.
tack så mycket...
I love this!!! And I didn't mind that the video is so long, I like watching the prosess also!! ❤️❤️❤️
thanx :)...
I loved watching it and I learnt a lot. I will try it
This has been very inspiring and I love the steampunk design. I enjoy creating steampunk style jewelry so I was very drawn to this video :)
The Craft Nerd
Thanx 😁
Beautiful work.
Amazing, I love the running water from using the glue gun! I am a newbie, but getting loads of ideas from yours and other videos!
I'm glad you can get inspired by this video ;).
Love the canvas! Thanks for the tutorial.
u r welcome :)...
The video was long indeed (can't believe I've just watched a movie-long DIY :D) but it was also very interesting to watch your thought process. Full of good tips and advices for us beginners, TFS. I've been meaning to give a try at a "steampunk frame" for months now, collecting (and buying...) some ornements or something but never got to actually sit down and do it (FGS!). Your video is very inspiring and now I have a few days of break, I'm feeling very motivated. I think the harder is to do your first one because there's also this fear of being disappointed with the result but I know too practice is what makes you improved and the good thing with these kind of project is that you don't have to have a precise idea of what you want to do, you make it up as you go (so less risk of screwing it up! :D)
Your video also made me realize the amount of glue stick you need! :D Not sure I have enough left, lol.
thanks for a lovely comment... and yes... glue is a must... the stronger, the better :)...
They are really good
