Abstract Acrylic on canvas panel - Untitled 2017 #4



Acrylic Textured Abstract on canvas panel

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

Background:  A basecoat of paynes grey was covered with various gels (Golden Course Molding Paste, Golden Course Molding Paste, & Liquitex Ceramic Stucco) applied with a painting knife to create a textured background. Additional texture was added by pressing plastic canvas (top right) into the stucco/molding paste. When dry, a thin layer of Liquitex Blended Fibres was added (bottom left) and scratched into with a comb.

Painting: Several acrylic paint glazes were applied with Matisse: Hookers Green, Southern Ocean Blue, Indigo Blue (very little), Pthalo Blue, Pthalo Blue + Golden Zinc White, & Golden Buff Titanium (over the blended fibres only).


The round shapes were made using a bottle cap pressed into Chromacryl Impasto Gel + silver and then paynes grey (Jo Sonja). These were too harsh, so I added further glazes to push them back.

Finish: Atelier Traditional Satin Varnish.


Frame:  It needs a frame (without glass). I just haven't decided what type.
