This muted autumn abstract landscape looks like watercolor.
But…it’s actually acrylics on canvas! How did I get the effect?
A layer of ABSORBENT GROUND. Let dry.
Then a layer of FIBER PASTE. Let dry.
This will give the canvas “tooth” and some nubby texture that a wash of acrylics will flow over like watercolors! I mixed the acrylics with some water (a small amount) plus acrylic glazing medium (SATIN).
You can build up layers of color (let dry in between).
Finish with a layer of glaze (use the same SATIN glaze). Let dry.
Varnish to protect.
It’s one way to get a surface that will accept the acrylics like a watercolor, with a lot of flow and wash.
