Pebeo Dyna Paints – Blue/Green, Green/Yellow, Green/Blue and Orange/Yellow
Stickles
in greens and blues
It’s Moira today and I have a little abstract piece to
share. In my head I was doing something
underwater and seaweed inspired but hubby says it looks like a planet surface,
maybe Mars or Jupiter. So perhaps it is
both, a planetary sea?
The Pebeo Dyna paints are interference colours which means
they look different depending on whether they are painted over dark or light
colours. To try this out I painted my 8
x 8 whiteboard with black Gesso and then spread a thick layer of the Crackle
Paste all over. I took a palette knife
and and dragged it through the Crackle to make grooves and repeated this with a
smaller palette knife. Next I used the
rounded end of a paint brush to dab holes in the crackle and left the whole
thing o dry overnight. Yes honest no
messing with heat guns just proper drying as this paste does weird and
wonderful things when heated but not what I wanted.
When dry I felt the crackle had cover too much of the black
so I went back in with more black gesso.
Next I started adding the Blue/Green, Green/Yellow and Green/Blue paints, adding small strokes of different colours and building up layers
to get intense colour and gorgeous sheen.
Using a small amount of the Orange/Yellow on my finger tip I rubbed over
the most raised parts to create definition.
A final touch was adding various Stickles to the holes
(craters?) I made with the end of the paint brush.
I have to say I’m loving these paints. I like shimmer and they really do dance and
layering gives such a range of colour shade and combinations. I wish I was good
enough with a camera for you to see how beautiful the colours and shine
are.
