T is for ART - 3D mixed media tutorial with Mimi Bondi

The last letter in my 3D mixed media project 🙂

The letters A and R are done and dusted so I am now tackling the last one! Follow me along in this video tutorial (and I hope you will feel inspired to move away from painting on flat surfaces to trying out a 3D mixed media project yourself)!



Here’s what I did…

  1. I had already applied gesso then started adding acrylic paint, first in light turquoise then hot pink to contrast the light blue.
  2. Next a little of that gorgeous Cobalt blue (don’t know why I didn’t add it to my collection earlier as it’s such a stunning colour!)…
  3. After drying everything thoroughly, I used detailed mask (isn’t it pretty?!) and some aqua green to make the design contrast with the first layers… Doesn’t the effect look really cool??
  4. Then I used one of my hand carved stamps and some gold ink to add subtle texture and shine…
  5. Now a little green paint with my fingers to bring all my previous elements together…
  6. Next I’m adding a little more texture with a stamp and dark purple ink: I chose this design because I like how it gives you the idea of very stylish handwriting without actually being legible 🙂
  7. I wanted to add a little pop so I used my Dot Fade stencil with some white gesso (it can be a little awkward working on a 3D object!)…
  8. To finish things off, I’m rubbing a little iridescent gold on the edges for a bit more shine – and painting the back and bottom of my letter black.

And now my 3D mixed media project is finished!!! Check out the photos below of the letter T and of the 3 letters together 🙂
