Experimenting with Texture
It’s always good for an artist to try new products and techniques and then implement them in to their art. That’s exactly what I did for this painting, “Glory Be Angel Wings”. I started with Golden Molding Paste and used tools to create groves and texture in the paste. I let it dry completely. Then I layered Golden acrylic paints using brushes, a palette knife and a brayer. Here is a list of the colors I used:
- titan buff
- titanium white
- carbon black
- raw sienna
- burnt sienna
- raw umber
- iridescent gold
The words “Glory Be” were typed on my computer using My Underwood font and printed on a heavy cream colored paper. I tore the paper around the words and used black paint to grungy up the edges.
I learned a lot painting in this way and plan to implement some of these techniques into my angel paintings so stay tuned.
Tell me, what tools do you use to create texture in your paintings? If you’re not an artist, would you like to learn to paint online? Would you like to paint this particular painting?
Blessings,
Teresa
