Acrylic - making textures.

Gouaches and Acrylic textures on 140 lb. cold press paper.

Acrylic pea painting.  This started by wetting the paper, dropping in the acrylic color, laying crumpled wax paper on top and a book to hold it down.  Do not remove before it's dry and make sure it is on before the paint starts to dry.  Remove the wax paper (after it's dry!) and then transfer the drawing and paint on top of the texture with the acrylic.  I have used only 3 colors and white (Golden Fluids Acrylics - primary yellow, anthraquinone blue, quinacridone magenta).

This is the gouache with the background added after the subject matter was started.  Wet the paper and drop the color.  The paint will go where the water is.  Remember, adjustments must be made as far as values with the change from white to texture and color/

Gouache pea painting.  This started by wetting the paper, dropping in the gouache color, laying plastic wrap/saran wrap on top and if it won't stay down use a book to hold it down.  Do not remove before it's dry and make sure it is on before the paint starts to dry.  Pull the plastic wrap (after paint is dry!) and transfer the drawing.  Paint on top of the texture with the gouache, carefully.  I have used only 3 colors and white (Windsor & Newton gouache - indigo, permanent rose, lemon yellow).
