INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING A RELIEF LANDSCAPE
1. I first sketched out the plan for my relief landscape.
2. I then covered the canvas board with a thin layer of CelluClay.
3. Using more CelluClay, I sculpted rocks and a saguaro cactus in the foreground. I let it dry overnight.
4. I coated the entire surface with white acrylic paint and let it dry.
5. Next, I used Activ Clay to form the plants and mountains, which also was dried overnight.
6. I then used acrylic paint to paint everything.
7. Last, I glued down some Scenic Sand with Mod Podge.
