Bird in Water

This is done with the modeling paste and acyclic paint.

Untitled

This project was an interesting one. I found these strange BP gas trading cards in the closet and knew I wanted to do something with them. I put the Behr interior paint smooth on them then painted them with tempera. The paint color and texture were not working out so I got bored and put Elmers glue on them. This actually worked really well it made it so that the acyclic paint had more natural highligths to them. I ended by putting them on a piece of board and painting the squares and circles on them.

Extremes

Going with my concentration of texture in 2D design this piece i wanted to show the extremes of texture. One side is a really rough texure and the other is smooth. The texture is done with modeling paste and then the whole thing is painted with acyclic.

Trifecta

I started this project with just one of the boards but eventually I ended up with the three. The texture is made by Behr Interior Texture Paint Smooth and it was applied by a fork. The process is really messy and the paint takes about a day to dry but the effect is worth it. After the paint dried, I painted it again with acyclic paint.

Below are two close ups on the texture:
