First, a thick layer of Acrylic gesso was applied to a sheet of acrylic paper.
While the gesso was still wet, pieces of paper, cut by using a holepuncher, was spread on top and lightly pressed into the gesso.
When the gesso was dry, several layers of more gesso mixed with plenty of water were applied on top of the pieces of paper.
(the gesso was left to dry between each layer.)
A thick layer of Deep Violet acrylic paint was then applied, covering the whole surface.
Next a wash of purple was painted randomly over the violet colour.
At last, a light wash of pink was applied on top (Just touching the "top" of the texture).
Artist Notes:
The paint need to be dry before the next layer can be applied!
A piece of cardboard or a painting knife can be used to push the paper pieces deeper into the gesso
and flatten the texture if required.
Modeling paste could have been used instead of gesso.
