DRAWING AND PAINT

Working With Acrylic Structure on Canvas and Painting Structured Background.

Usually it is two to three step process of creating a structured Abstract Art Painting. I personally prefer using Light Molding Paste by Golden Acrylics which is a special effect acrylic medium that works excellent to create structures. It is light weight and dries fast. It tends to also absorb the color so it is advisable to use golden acrylic paint or similar high pigmented acrylic paint so it will maintain its contrast and brightness.

The first step in creating structured painting is to apply the special medium paste (such as light molding paste). Allow the medium to dry for one to two hours. After it is dry apply paint first coat. It really depends on your taste you can paint first coat with light colors and the second coat you can do in darker color tones. When you do apply the second coat it would be only lightly touched to the surface touching the rough structured edges of the medium paste. This will create the contrast making the painting to stand out even more.
