First, a thick layer of acrylic gesso was applied to a sheet of acrylic paper.
While the gesso was still wet, torn strips of Raffiabast was spread randomly on top.
When the gesso was dry, several layers of more gesso mixed with plenty of water were
applied on top of the Raffiabast strips until the whole texture was covered in a thick layer of gesso.
(the gesso was left to dry between each layer.)
A thick layer of Burnt Umber acrylic paint was then applied, covering the whole surface.
When the Burnt Umber was dry, a wash of Burnt Sienna was as applied over the texture and left to dry.
At last, Cadmium Scarlet 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 Raffiabast deeper into the surface.
Modeling paste could have been used instead of gesso.
