MATERIALS:
- A canvas
- Black gesso
- Gloss gel
- Crystal grain acrylic gel
- Acrylic paint
- Varnish
- Brushes
- Spatulas
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
Apply two coats of black gesso on the canvas (Liquitex gesso is more liquid and is ideal for this project).
Step 2:
Mix Pébéo gloss gel with acrylic paint. In terms of quantities, I use one-part gel and two parts acrylic paint. Then, create some shapes with a square brush. Wait one hour before moving to the next step.
Step 3:
Mix the crystal grain acrylic gel with an acrylic paint of your choice. Make more shapes with a spatula this time, since this mixture is thicker than the first one.
Step 4:
Use a fluid acrylic paint with a nozzle thin enough to let the paint flow and create 3D lines (Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic is ideal for this step).
Step 5:
Once everything is dry, apply Krylon’s Crystal Clear Glaze spray varnish for a glossy finish.
