Texture Painting

Hola amigos 😃 !

Today I want to share tutorial for texture painting that I made last week.

The materials used are :

• A primed canvas
• Gouache paints from Talens Art Creation for background 
• Acrylic paints 
• Fine grain  acrylic effect paste from CREA BOX Marabu brand.
• Palette knives 
• Stencil
• Painters tape

I started with a yellow, green, violet blended background. For this I used Gouache paints. They are opaque matt paints with high intensity colors. For making violet, I used Deep Rose and Cyan colors. And the rest are Deep Green and Lemon Yellow.

Once the canvas is dry, I taped the stencil onto the canvas. I used certain parts of the canvas to get the design. So I taped the rest of the stencil to avoid texture paste getting through. I used Acrylic Effect Paste from CREA BOX. It can be painted over once dry. To spread the paste I used plastic palette knives.

Similarly going further...

This is the final design.

To paint over the effect paste, I used bleeding technique. For this, I painted the petal with a little bit of water first using a brush.

Then I slightly touched the petal with color. And now the beauty of it unfolds 😍.

Similarly, painting all the petals...

I drew some outlines using black acrylic paint.

Now, I used the same bleeding technique to paint the stems and leaves. This time, I used two colors: Green and yellow.

I drew some swirls as background. I used white, yellow, green and blue colors for this. 

At few areas I used gold metallic paints and ...done !!
