Altered straw hat "Summer vacation" with Prima and Finnabair

Hello my dear friends. :)

I'm continuing to alter summer requisites, today I did a makeover of a summer straw hat. I colored it with three coats of heavy white gesso and one coat of a texture paste, because I had very colorful hat to alter and I wanted to cover the colors of the hat. Then I lightly colored it using Finnabair Patina pastes green and blue. And they I started creating a sea arround it and building a composition using two summer Prima editions - St. Tropez and French Riviera. I created a seaside scene. The lighthouse and the boat are made of paper. Hope you'll like it. There is also a video tutorial at the end for those of you who fancies it. :)

Have a great summer day my friends and see you soon! :)

Hugs,

Aleksandra
