Carla van den Berg, how-to 1 -mixed media technique

[LilMissDaisy99]

What is the purpose of the Ceparol? I don't recognize the brand and I'm trying to think of an equivalent product here in Canada.

[carlavandenberg]

@LilMissDaisy99

Protecting, I think you can use acrylic gel medium too.

I am really enjoy work with texture, mostly my work is made in Fresco, but I like to learm how orher artists working in different mediums. Best

dit is Echt ZO LEUK!! Hoef niet eens het huis uit voor het volgen van een workshop! TOP! Ga dit allemaal eens uitproberen binnenkort en dan laat ik zien hoe 't geworden is!!

[carlavandenberg]

@shanna1950

Dat vind ik leuk, hou me op de hoogte!

[Shellydawn69]

Will any kind of glue work? Or does it have to be a special type of glue?

[carlavandenberg]

@Shellydawn69

Yes, I think so, any kind of glue what will work on canvas.

[reecegeorge]

Loved it! Great result. Thanks for posting this;-haven't tried it but as we are in the proceeds of buying a really old house,i can think how adaptable this technique could be to larger spaces. So inspiring,[have to thank my husband who marked this as a fav and i didn't know;- lovely surprise! Will look for more of your posts and value your great instruction[but please turn your tap down i kept wanting to turn it lower ,ha,]kindest regards, love your generosity of spirit @earthy teachingMeighan

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks for your comments!

[PakehaGal]

Thank you so much Carla. I enjoyed watching your videos and learned a lot. Now I am inspired - so thanks again!

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks for watching and also for taking time to comment.

[carlavandenberg]

Hi Linda,

I'm glad you like my vids and you make me happy you did some techniques with a good result, thanks a lot for let me know!

[LindaStevenson331]

Carla, Thank you so much for your videos. I am not an artist. I'm probably more of an artist-wanna-be. I did the technique in this video and I stenciled a fleur-de-lis. It turned out wonderful! It was a night of many firsts for me...cut my own stencil, used my hair dryer for art, bought and used spackle... I'll be buying poultry grit before you know it! LOL I didn't even know what that was. I had to look it up! Anyways, your art and spirit are precious! Thank you!

[ingridgans]

Carla, this evening I tried this technique out and enjoyed it so much. I had a few mishaps but I love the result anyway. If you'd like to see it, I can post a picture of it somewhere and send you the link. Thank you so much! I want to experiment with this a lot. Groetjes, Ingrid

[carlavandenberg]

Dank je Ingrid. En natuurlijk zou ik het leuk vinden om te zien! :-)

[elmerweird]

wow! this is so amazing! now i have a a cheaper alternative to molding paste. i really wanna try this out. however, i'm a bit concerned about cracking. how stable is it? will it crack if the canvas has been pushed back a little after the spackle has dried? or will the spackle fall off or crack if ever that your artwork fell off from the wall?

[carlavandenberg]

The stuff I use doesn't crackle and doesn't fall off. You can push the canvas.

In my country (The Netherlands) I buy 'Grote gatenvuller' (something as 'big whole filler stuff'..) it's made by 'Alabastine'. That's all I know.. :(

It isn't very cheap, but I'm really in love with it :)

[witsuebea]

thank you so much for this tutorial, the gift of your artwork is very much appreciated.

My regards XsueX

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks for let me know! :)

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks for your comment and for watching, it's nice to know that people like my videos :)

[fromruinstudio]

Your english is just fine. Thanks, I'm going to have to try this.

[carlavandenberg]

I am curious what you will make, do you show it?

[carlavandenberg]

Yes, I think any acrylic medium is ok, because it is sticky too. Thanks for watching :)

[NolaGB]

Carla, I'm not able to locate a glass fiber glue. Would an acrylic medium work or some other type of glue?

This is a great technique. The finished work is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this technique with us.

[charlenerice]

I would love to have a sink in my studio : D. Your a great artist : D

Peace

love

and

Art Charlene

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks Charlene :)

Yeah, I'm glad with the sink. I use it a lot.

[debcoart]

Carla, thank you for making this video. That is a lovely technique! I recently began using spackling in a series I am doing, and your information will be helpful to me. Hugs!!!

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you for the nice comment. I hope to see in future how it works for you!

[EvelineUK]

Erg indrukwekkend! Ik had geen idee dat je van die grote potten gesso en Galeria kon krijgen. Misschien dat ik daar tijdens mijn volgende bezoekje aan Nederland (ik woon nu in Engeland) maar 'ns naar op zoek moet.

[carlavandenberg]

Sommige winkels hebben weleens 5000 ml emmers, maar 1000 ml is in ieder geval heel gebruikelijk voor een pot Gesso.

Galeria koop ik meestal in een 500ml pot, maar er zijn wel eens aanbiedingen dat je 200 ml gratis krijgt, dus 700 ml voor de prijs van 500, dat zijn de grootste die ik heb.

[Perplexedpixie]

carla this is pretty cool, its nice to meet you and I am watchin for another vid thanks for sharing hugs~jess

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks Jessica :)

[PMurphyArt]

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you, I'm very pleased to read that!

[rizzin2thetop]

Thanks for sharing your talent! I love learning new things. Thanks so much.... God bless!

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you Angela

[klaasrusschen]

This is one of my favorites ;-)

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you :)

[lpatencio]

Thanks for sharing this, I am going to try this next week. I only remember about three German words. Your English is so good. You have such a deep grasp of Indigenous art! We use the same paint and colors, how cool is that?

[carlavandenberg]

Hi Lisa,

I'm very curious what you are going to make of it. Can we see it on YouTube? I hope so :)

My German is also very bad, I only knew a few words either (less than English I guess) but we did have translators over there and I could speak just Dutch :-)

But in this region of The Netherlands there are a lot of German people, they are our neighbours in about 3 or 5 km. I live here for more then 2 years now, and now I can understand a bit, but to talk is still difficult.

[lpatencio]

Yikes, so you speak Dutch, I am so silly. With babble fish, I can translate what ever you choose to write in. :)

[klaasrusschen]

Carla, u Rock !
