Greece texture painting

Hey folks !!

Here's another painting using "effect paste" on canvas. My previous painting incorporating this texture paste has all the information about the material that I used here. For the colours I used acrylic paints. I chose this beautiful Greek scene with colourful  flowers and ocean in the background.

I was inspired by a similar painting of this scene. Unfortunately do not know who the artist was. I started off with a pencil sketch.

For painting the sea, I used the fine grain acrylic structure paste and mixed the paint in it. I used a palette knife to apply this mixture on the canvas.

 I mixed different shades of blue to give some depth to the sea.

To paint the bushes I used green with clear acrylic paste.

This is how it looks...

I added another layer of dark green mixed with effect paste to give depth to the bushes. For painting the church I used white acrylic effect paste with shades of blue. I spread it using a palette knife.

Once the church was done, I wasn't satisfied with the background colour so I changed it to dark blue.

To paint the flowers, I mixed different shades of maroon, pink, purple, orange and yellow with effect paste. To apply it, I used back of the push pin.

And done :) !!

It took me just two days to finish this work. It was simple to make and so much fun playing with the effect paste. Hope you like it and do try it. Happy painting 😃.
