Abstract Acrylic on canvas panel - Untitled #3 2017

Acrylic Textured Abstract on canvas panel

Substrate:  Mont Marte 8x10 inch/20.3 x 25.4cm Canvas Panel.

Background:  Texture was created using Golden Crackle Paste (right) , Liquitex Blended Fibres (bottom left) and stamped (didn't keep a good image, but dried interesting), and Liquitex Ceramic Stucco (top left).

Painting: Layers of glazes using (first layer water only then Atelier Glazing Liquid) mixed with Paynes Grey (Jo Sonja), Trans Yellow Oxide (Matisse), Australian Sienna (Matisse), Trans. Venetian Red (Matisse), Trans. Umber (Matisse), Trans Red Oxide (Matisse) & Zinc White (Liquitex).

I didn't like how the fibre paste was looking, so a layer of Gel Medium Matte (Matisse) plus touch of Trans Yellow Oxide was scraped over with a painting knife.







Towards completion a little extra texture was added using Golden Glass Bead Gel (bottom left above fibre paste) and Matisse Black Flakes Hex (over Paynes Grey down centre). When dry Copper (Jo Sonja) was painted over the bead gel (trying to keep only on the beads).

Finish: Atelier Traditional Gloss Varnish.

Frame: A very simple thin black frame.

Acrylic Pour over texture on Canvas Panel 8x10"

Substrate:  Mont Marte 8x10 inch/20.3 x 25.4cm Canvas Panel.

Background:  Various gels (Golden Course Molding Paste, Golden Glass Bead Gel, Liquitex Blended Fibres, and Liquitex Ceramic Stucco) through stencils were used to create a textured background.

Painting: Dirty pours of different viscosity acrylic paints. The thicker paint needed to be pushed around with a painting knife.

Finish: Atelier Traditional Gloss Varnish.

Frame:  It needs a frame (without glass) but both the white (pictured) and black and timber frames I have don't quite look right either. I think I'm going to have make a frame and paint it. Maybe silver or grey or red?
