Textured Paintings




I've been working on adding lots of texture to my paintings. I have been putting layers of crumpled up tissue paper on them. I put a layer of paint, then tissue paper and more paint. I move the paper around and bunch it up in some areas and spread it out in others. It does take a while to dry, but adds a nice 3-D affect.
