What sets are KOM apart for the rest is that we always have the OTP ( Off the Page) Goodie for you to try and create . This month we are playing with canvas panels and Gouache Paint
Gouache paint is similar to watercolor but modified to make it an opaque painting medium (non-transparent). A binding agent, usually gum arabic, is present, just as in watercolor. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities.
I played with the paint and the background and then did a photo transfer of the letters LOVE ... ( You need a laser printer - or they work best for photo transfers and do not forget to "mirror" the image or alpha's ) I finished it off with some bees wax ... Hope you enjoy and have some creative fun with the paints and canvas ... for more inspirational pieces - head on over to the forums and see what the creative team is up to
