Mixed Media Abstract - Untitled

Mixed Media Abstract - Acrylic Paints, FW and Liquitex Ink pours

I created the texture with Matisse Impasto Medium and Golden Crackle Medium thickly applied with a stencil. When dry this layer was painted with acrylic paints in blues with yellow in the top right. When dry Golden Glass Bead Gel was applied in a few areas.

Subsequent layers of fluid acrylic paint and then acrylic inks until I was happy.

Hear is a close up of the centre left so you can see the different textures and colours flowing better:

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.
