| Faux Encaustic Experiments using Acrylic Gel Medium |
Substrate: Mont Marte 4x4 inch10 x 10cm Canvas Panel.
Painting: Layers of Gel Medium (Chromacryl Impasto Gel (Paintings 1 & 2 - 2 on left) & Matisse Gel Gloss (painting 3 - right) mixed with small amounts of acrylic paint and applied with a painting knife directly or through a stencil (Painting 1). Each layer had to dry before the next layer was applied to create the visual colour mixing effect.
Matisse Gel Med (Matt Finish) was applied with a painting knife to Painting 1. I think this covered too much, so the other paintings are finished with two coats of Atelier Traditional Satin Finish Varnish.
