This piece had an initial wash of Quiacridone Red acrylic painted on the surface of the paper. When that had dried a mixture of CMC paste and Indanthrene Blue were brushed across the surface and then textured using various tools.
A base coat of Raw Sienna was given a paste layer to which Golden Payne's Grey had been added. Quite a large piece of paper that was left over from cutting up pages for bookbinding purposes. The paste was still wet when I took the photograph hence the glistening highlights.
I loved this A4 piece. It had Transparent Yellow Oxide acrylic combined with the remains of a red (probably Quinacridone Red, but not certain) as a base layer and then Burnt Sienna was mixed with the paste before I applied several methods of adding texture to the surface.
It would not be me without a bit of blue. This was straight onto a piece of white paper, no base colour.
These are lovely papers - I've no idea what CMC paste is, nor have I ever heard of the first two colours you mention - I fear I am sadly lacking in the paint field !
ReplyDeleteYou will have used CMC paste when doing City & Guilds because you use it to make silk paper. It is a cellulose paste which comes in powder form and you can get it from Colourcrafts or Art van Go
