MIXED MEDIA ART TECHNIQUE FOIL, WALLPAPER & SPRAYS 0001
A relatively simple mixed media technique using foil, wallpapers, card etc, whichever paper types will provide textures. A base foundation is made first by sticking down ripped, torn, cut wallpaper etc also scrunched up foil to give more of a low relief effect. Glue is applied, doesn’t matter if it’s pritstick, pva just so long as it sticks! Foil is then scrumpled, unfolded and placed over the top of the papers. Rub (burnish) the foil into the nooks and crannys until pretty smooth (there will be lots of texture). Do this carefully as the foil can rip. Add additional textures gently scraping shapes, patterns into the foil. Apply glue using a hot glue gun. This gives a nice abstract low relief effect adding to the textures produced. Finally spray paints are used as these adhere to the foil and glue. Various colour schemes can be used, colour groups or monochromes. It can be as intense or as subtle as you like, the possibilities are endless.

hi there. Yes it does. You can do your design/pattern 1st, then cover with foil. It is just as interesting….I liked the smoothness of the glue in contrast with texture from the foil.

There’s a product called “Gac 200″ by Golden , which when mixed with Fluid acrylics gives better adhesion on the foil. You only have to use it for first layer, then you can paint like you would normally do.
Otherwise the paint doesn’t stick.

ps..you would have to put some adhesive type over the foil to help other paints adhere. With it being foil paints (watercolours etc) will resist. Hope that helps?

Sorry for delay in reply….No you don’t have to use sprays but it helps get in all the nooks n’ crannies, because of the textures in the paper. It will be interesting to try other methods i.e. water colours, acrylics etc what ever you want
