Creative use of Grainy Texture Paste


Hi friends,

I am back again with yet another blog post .This time would be talking about creating some pastes

from grainy texture paste ,a product recently introduced by Itsybitsy.The pastes are quite versatile and

 uptil now most of us use them to add texture.Today I am going to make colored texture paste and use

them as coloring medium for my mix media project.Hope you find the step by step useful.I have tried

to include a video but do excuse any mistakes as it is my first time making a video!!.

I have created a mix media circle called FREEDOM.This is a ply base around 8mm thick.Have used

some natural twigs and some moulds to create this piece.Some pics of in process work.

Once my composition was ready it was time to decide the coloring.For this I created some texture

 paste for coloring.As I decided to do the background in somewhat patina shades I used Itsybitsy 

tinted metallics,Lime crush and Caribbean teal mixed with Grainy texture paste to create my own 

pastes.Also I decided to give the middle part some rust look.For the rust pastes I created a reddish 

paste with acrylic color Indian red and burnt sienna mixed with grainy paste and Indian yellow mixed

 with grainy paste for yellow shade.Some pics for reference please:

.Once my pastes were done I applied them with thick hog bristle brush in dry brushing manner.The

end result is like this.I am quite happy with the result and love how the grainy paste adds another

dimension to my work.Thanks are again due to Rashmi Harish for trusting me with this product.I

have included a video of the coloring process and hope you are able to view it and gather some

tips.Please visit this link for the process video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKCmSa8Fpp0
