stamped textural painting.... mixed media

Another experiment for this one i used a canvas, builders caulk and stamps and found objects as in bottle tops etc.


I covered the canvas in caulk sprayed the stamps with water its better to do this as they get stuck in the caulk other wise, (that's the first mistake i made LOL )

where was i oh yeah i pressed stamps in to the caulk, did this all over randomly when the caulk was dry i swooshed paint all over and wiped some back did this in layers dried the first and then added a couple more colours, it ended up quite dark with almost an old metal feel to it. might add a few coats of light paint to it or play some more with it I'm not sure.

Again a rubbish photo one day i will make some thing that i can photograph properly






some close ups

Crissi, thanks for dropping by. There are so many blogs to visit that I really do appreciate visits. I have checked out yours, haven't been here in a while, and have discovered this fantastic technique. I must go try it. It looks like the process from start to finish takes quite a while since all these things need to dry between steps. But your results are simply stunning. I just hope I might be able to get something half as beautiful.
