Texture Gallery - Using a Metal Brush

This texture was created with Acrylic Gesso, strips of Raffiabast, three different acrylic colours, and a sheet of acrylic paper.





Metal Brush

Detailed close-up

First, a thick layer of acrylic gesso was applied to a sheet of acrylic paper.

While the gesso was still wet, a small metal brush was used to create random scratch-patterns in the gesso.

When the gesso was dry, a wash of Phthalo Blue acrylic paint was as applied over the texture and left to dry for a couple of minutes until semi-dry.

A cloth, slightly wet, was then used to gently polish the "top" of the texture and remove any excess paint.

Artist Notes:
The paint need to be dry before the next layer can be applied!

Modeling paste could have been used instead of gesso.
