#v13863
Striking images can be made with fine or coarse structure paste, scratching designs and patterns, with, for example, a spatula. When dry, apply paint according to your taste. The technique is demonstrated here on a canvas panel.

How to do it
1. Apply structure paste to the canvas panel fully or partially according to taste. Use a palette knife or your fingers as an alternative (don't forget disposable gloves).
2. Scratch designs or patterns in the wet paste, with, for example, a serrated rubber spatula for making grooves or with a silicone brush. Leave to dry.
3. You may paint the picture with acrylic paint; for example Art School. Leave to dry.
4. Variant No. 1: Dividing the area with structure paste. Here the background of the design is without structure paste.
5. Variant No. 2: Skip the structure paste and scratch instead in the wet acrylic paint.
