Textured "Circle" Painting

 I took an online class by Tracey Verduga.  I loved the class.  One of the segments was about texture.  I painted a canvas, using textured papers, latchhook rug mesh, molding paste, and drywall tape.  I worked with and worked with it and just couldn't make it look like anything.  So...........I painted over it.

Here's was happened!




List of Supplies

14"X 18" canvas panel
Miscellaneous textured paper
Golden Molding Paste
Drywall tape
Latchhook rug mesh
Golden Gel Medium (to adhere paper, etc.)
Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint - Violet
Master's Touch Paint - Light Violet
Liquitex White Gesso
Charcoal Pencil
Black Faber-Castell Big Brush Marker

It just goes to show that you never know what will happen when you start a painting.

A Little Texture

I broke out the molding paste this week. (I used Goldens Hard Molding Paste).  I haven't used it in quite a while. Since I'm going thru a flower stage and I have a lot of flower stencils, I thought I would give them some texture with the paste.  You can also just use spackling compound to do this.

I used a palette knife to rub the molding paste over the stencils on a blank canvas, then started painting.  I also used acrylic glazing with umber paint to give it an aged affect.

Some closeups.

Here's another one.

This one has similar colors....but no molding paste....just collage.

Same thing here....the petals are painted over, collaged, paper.

Peace,
