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.
