How to paint the background of texture which is ideal for the natûrmorti and portrait

Photo in media landscapes is quite simple. However, when painting still life and portraits background is often a source of concern. Photo in media is a common problem. This article is to use the cheesecloth for the slightly textured background.

These techniques for background will normally be painted before the main part of the image.

How to paint the background of texture using gauze

I like the background of the image, to have a certain texture or delicate colour. This has two advantages.

First by dividing the flat bottom is more interesting photo.

Second if smudge you for a large part of the image is much easier to set the background. When the bottom is flat color, all the background you will need to be painted. With textured background you can touch some areas without the need of repainting the background (often!).

The use of the Stamen is easy

For a background texture interesting, you can use the cheesecloth or chiffon. This technique can be as effective with sailing and lace fabrics. Try experimenting with independent freely have tissues.

Use the fabric as indigov

Start your painting surface spray with water and then place your fabric.

Then wash or use a sponge to apply paint thinned on the fabric. Try not to use too watery painting or it will perform below and you will not get the texture. If this occurs simply everything dry with paper towel and then try again.

Let the paint dry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes (depending on conditions) and then remove the fabric front of painting a completely dry. Printing of the fabric will remain on the merits of drawing.

You can also use the fabric for printing

Another way to use fabrics is to paint the background, and then press the fabric in the surface painted for another type.

In this case, the fabric absorb part of the painting, thicker and thinner, areas to provide a texture.

When I paint in the background

When I painted pet portraits have I found the easiest is to draw in the form of pet portrait and then painted in the background. When using the canvas stretched I also paint the walls of this step.

In this way, can leave most of the remains portrait painted. really textured background painted dense portrait it otherwise.

Then towards the end of the image, I details any context of the areas that need it, and finally some skins painted over the background painting. This small mixtures of these two areas and added to the structure of fur-bearing animals.

It will work also with flowers or other objects that are the main focus of your photo.

Abstract themes

These techniques will be work well for abstract images of painting also. However, in the abstract images, these techniques can be used at each stage. They will be convenient for use after the entire image has been painted to add some additional interest. Then, you can only define areas to be presented.

I.e., painted most of graphic, apply a texture and then highlight some areas after having dried texture. These areas highlight will be a good place to use some acrylic medium to give or glossy finish, or perhaps metal accents.

I hope that you find it useful. There is no good way to paint, just different ideas in order to achieve the appearance you want.
