Mixed Media Abstract - Blue & Green on Gold

"Blue & Green on Gold" acrylic paint, impasto/modelling paste on 8x8x1/2 inch (20x20x1.3cm) stretched canvas
This painting started out as a comparison of Atelier Interactive moulding paste (top left), Matisse Impasto Medium (top right), Matisse Gel Medium (matt) (bottom left) and Matisse Structure Acrylic Transparent Venetian Red (bottom right) using a painting knife.

This was then followed by a layer of Jo Sonja Gold and when dry a glaze (colours mixed with Atelier Interactive Glazing Liquid (gloss) approx. 1:1) of Matisse Emerald. Several glazes of Matisse Structure acrylics in Emerald, Southern Ocean Blue, Cobalt Turquoise, Cobalt Teal, Prussian Blue and Atelier Interactive Mixing White (pearl/titanium) followed until I was happy with the result.

The painting has been sealed with Atelier Interactive Fast Medium/Fixer.
