ARTSY WINE BOTTLE ART on canvas

ARTSY WINE BOTTLE ART       16" x 20" Canvas

Hi!  I am instructing an artsy class at an awesome Art Gallery downtown in a couple of weeks.  Its a Make it and Take it workshop.  We will be working on  16" x 20" canvases.  

First step is to paint the background, (I used different hues of browns in this one).  Then while the paint is still wet, the second step is to  take sheets of plastic wrap and place it over all the wet paint, wrinkle it up a bit then pull it off.  This technique leaves a really cool effect on the paint.  I used a plastic stencil to make subtle effects on the paint as well.  Then while the paint on the canvas is drying, use Mod Podge to glue cut up pieces of printed cardstock (of your choice) onto a large cardstock wine bottle shaped cutout.  After all the pieces have been glued down, use a black sharpie permanent marker to outline each piece and the spaces in between to make it look like grout.  Once the wine bottle cutout is complete, use Mod Podge to glue it  down to the canvas, making sure it is completely adhered to the canvas.
Once everything is dry, brush Mod Podge all over the canvas to seal it all down.
Then  Voilà!  it's finished!
