| Acrylic paint on 12x16 inch (30x40cm) stretched canvas |
Texture was created using a stencil and moulding paste,
Golden Crackle paste, Golden Clear Granular Gel, & Golden Glass Bead Gel.
(You can't see the stencil in the finished work but in the close up you can
still see the shape of the crackle paste). Matisse Deep Rose Madder was watered
down and poured over the canvas, leaving a red stain in places.
Glazes made up of Atelier Traditional Glazing Liquid (gloss)
mixed with Matisse Structure acrylics approx. 1:1. Paynes Grey, Indigo and
Permanent Maroon along the bottom (I should have thinned these much more and I
went too dark too early and couldn't get all the colour back in that I wanted).
Many layers of glaze followed with Deep Rose Madder,
Venetian Red, Transparent Venetian Red, Matisse Red Lt, Yellow Oxide, Transparent Yellow Oxide,
Yellow Mid (Azo), and Australian Sienna (reds to the bottom and yellows to the top mostly, but with just a little crossover to unify the colours).
I haven't decided if I will layer some more so I will
varnish with a thin layer of acrylic gloss in the future to protect it.
