Abstract Textures by Nikki Acton

11:00






Hi everyone. Today’s project is one I made for the Hochanda shows a few months ago and features the 8x8 inch white/greyboard journal pages and That’s Crafty! Textures stamp set 2. I do love abstract art and had great fun including these stamps onto this journal page.


I began with black and white gesso to create some blocks and horizontal and vertical lines – quite roughly at this stage as you can see! 






I then took the Textures stamp set and stamped onto white photocopy paper. I used this as it is thin paper and I wanted to collage it over my page. I tore and cut sections and adhered them with matte medium.

I stamped more of the textures with paint directly onto the journal page to build up layers and develop the composition, tweaking the black/white mix in places. Having just used black and white paint up until this stage I decided to add a little watered down brown over some of the photocopy paper and then used the edge of a credit card to add some thicker black lines with paint. Finally I added some black and white paint splatters.

  1. Love the way you have almost mapped out your blocks on this one Nikki, great way to follow on with your paper strips and stamps. Shame its only 8x8 it would look fab as a large canvas hanging on a wall. Love it.
