"Luna"   11x14 mixed media acrylic

detail

 

This is a demo piece from my recent workshop in Wisconsin in which we applied heavy texture to our Gessobords, let it dry for a couple days, and then poured acrylic paints on the surface.

Patience is the key here.  You have to sit back and watch while the colors mingle and create new colors and forms.  Slightly tilting the board with the wet paint helps it flow around the texture, but mostly you have leave it alone and let the paint do it's thing.
