Texture Gallery - Using Craft Moos
(moss used for modeling scenery)


This texture was created with Acrylic Gesso, pieces of Craft moos (moss), three different acrylic colours, and a sheet of acrylic paper.





Craft Moos

Detailed close-up

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

While the gesso was still wet, pieces of craft moos were 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 moos 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 Deep Purple acrylic paint was then applied, covering the whole surface.

When the purple colour was dry, a wash of Pink was as applied over the texture and left to dry.

At last, Titanium whit paint 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 moos deeper into the surface.
