First, a thick layer of acrylic gesso was applied to a sheet of acrylic paper.
While the gesso was still wet, pieces of polystyrene 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 polystyrene pieces. (the gesso was left to dry between each layer.)
A thick layer of Cadmium Red was then applied, covering the whole surface.
When the Cadmium Red was dry, a wash of Cadmium Scarlet acrylic paint was as applied over the texture and left to dry.
At last, Yellow Ochre was applied with a dry brush, 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 paletteknife can be used to push the polystyrene deeper into the surface.
Modeling paste could have been used instead of gesso.
