First, a thick layer of Acrylic Gesso was applied to a sheet of acrylic paper.
While the gesso was still wet, yarn (which had been cut into small pieces with a pair of scissors)
were spread randomly on top and arranged into the desired design.
The yarn were lightly pressed into the gesso with a palette knife and left to dry for a for half an hour until the gesso was dry.
(time depending on room temperature)
When the texture was dry, further 3 layers of gesso, mixed with plenty of water, were applied on top of the yarn
until the whole texture was covered with gesso.
A wash of Orange acrylic paint mixed with Cadmium Red was then applied, covering the whole surface.
At last, Yellow Ochre was applied with a dry brush, just touching the "top" of the texture.
Artist Notes:
The layers of gesso and paint need to be completely dry before the next layer can be applied!
Different thickness'es, types and qualities of yarn will make a variation of texture.
