10”x8” Acrylic on canvas panel
I love texture in a painting. I used a technique here which I used to use a lot years ago. How does it work? Glad you asked!
First, an underpainting to get the main colors in. Darker than the finish, because this technique works best going from dark to light. Then I cover the entire surface with acrylic gel. A fine-tooth comb dragged through the gel at random angles gives me the first layer of texture.
After that’s thoroughly dry, what follows is a second layer of paint, with the brush dragging paint off on the high ridges. Then I repeat the process one more time, and finish with the final layer of color. The whole thing is another great way to blend colors with acrylics.
I like the way the surface kind of looks like old weathered wood that’s been out in the elements for years.
Do you like it? If you do, imagine what fun it would be having this original artwork delivered right to your door (or whatever door you’d like it delivered to!).
If you do like this painting, please share – because it really helps!
And don’t forget:
All work is for sale, Pay What You Want. Seriously. I don’t believe that original art should be available only to those with deep pockets. Not every art lover has deep pockets. So just tell me what price works for you. (You pay the shipping, though.😊)
