I'm loving this painting! This was painted using techniques that I learned in the online Texture Town class that I'm taking. I love this class and am learning so much already, and it's just starting! This was for an assignment about implied texture. Do you see how much depth this painting has? But to the touch it is completely flat! All the depth and texture is done with paints and glaze. And the best thing is that it didn't even take that long!
This photo below shows the initial glazing...
Next, it was stamped and stenciled...
Then it was stenciled more and shaded. At first glance these two appear similar, but look closely. See how much more depth there is around the scroll stamps in the bottom photo? I love it! And I added a polka dot pattern here and there.
At this point I wanted to call the painting done, I loved it like this, but I also wanted to do the full lesson, so I added my the details. I'm really glad I did because I LOVE the finished painting. I want to do many more like this, it was so much fun! And I can't wait to get into the actual applied texture lessons, with the touchable, raised textures....oh yeah!
If anyone's still thinking about this class I highly recommend it, it's wonderful. And you should see some of the other students samples, wow! I love seeing how even with the same techniques, everyone's paintings look so different with their different styles and designs, etc...so cool. Once again, I'm not getting anything for going on and on about the class...I'm just excited about it and want to share it with you! I'm off to paint more...

Thanks for the blog invite and I love your applied texture painting very much. You get an A+ in my book.
Hi Esther, I found your blog through Julie's ning site, and I keep seeing all of these wonderful examples from her new class--I'm thinking that I may sign up. I love texture! So glad to have found you!
We are classmates! You did a wonderful job on this assignment. I am totally envious of your glazing.

Wow! That's amazing! I had to touch my screen to make sure it wasn't really raised!
Gorgeous work! I love this piece! You are making me sooo want to take this course! There is just not enough time in the day to tackle all the projects I want to do right now. Sigh....
oh my Esther...this is so drool worthy...wow! So glad that you continued & "finished" it. Isn't it funny how you think you shouldn't go further because you think it looks great, but then you do and it's amazing!
