\"Polymer<\/a>6 Videos #645 to #650: <\/span>How to paint with polymer on tiny little mini stretched canvases… complete with some 3D embellishments too!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When I saw these tiny stretched canvases at Michaels in the artist painting section… along with the adorable tiny easels to set them on… I thought it was the perfect excuse to try out some polymer clay painting techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have seen several polymer paintings over the past few years… but never as tiny as these miniature landscape paintings done entirely in polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the cool thing about painting in polymer clay, is that you can not only make wonderful blended backgrounds… you can also make a polymer clay paint for texture and highlights. Plus you can add sculptural elements to give your piece a 3D effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tiny size is also perfect for anyone trying out this new technique for the first time… since the cost per canvas is very minimal… very little clay is needed to create your mini artwork… and although the project can be very detailed depending on your design, the small size makes it quick to finish so you can create another… and another… and another.<\/span><\/p>\n

You could even set up your own mini gallery of the paintings in a very small space :)<\/span><\/p>\n

If tiny paintings aren’t your thing, then you can always go big and use normal size stretched canvases instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or… this techniques lends itself well to other home decor projects too… and even jewelry.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this tutorial series, and use it as a jumping off point for all kinds of creative endeavors!<\/span><\/p>\n

Posted just below is a Sneak Peak and overview of my Polymer Clay Landscape Tutorial. The rest of the 6 part video series will be posted tomorrow (Friday, April 3, 2015) in Vol-083 at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
