Original Mosaic Textured Acrylic Paintings
This page features my mosaic paintings. I have done a large number of pieces using this process.
Most of these are painted on canvas, a few on wood. I also do this to many of my mounted and canvas prints.
After completing the painting I drop a varnish on each section to create an effect to mimic mosaic tile. It is a tedious process but looks really cool when completed.
I have used several different types of varnishes for this effect throughout the years. A few are listed below.
Contents at a Glance
Palms In Sunset
16"X20" Mosaic Painting
This piece was donated to support the Progress Energy Art Gallery; New Port Richey, Florida, for the Art In Paradise Annual Fundraiser.
I used a little bit of a different technique with this particular one. Instead of dropping dots on each section, I poured the varnish on to speed up the process. I had to get this finished in a short period of time.
The Tear
16"x20" Acrylic On Canvas
Tranquility
16"x20" Acrylic On Canvas
Flowers In Vase On Table
8"x10" Acrylic On Canvas
Ceramcoat Protect Interior Varnish-8oz/Gloss
Amazon Price: $3.97 (as of 06/03/2012)
This is a varnish I have used in the past. It is non yellowing, clear gloss, glasslike finish.
Reverse Effect
On this piece I reversed the effect by outlining the sections with dimensional fabric paint.
Prisoner To Fear
16"x20" Acrylic On Canvas
Sunburst
20"x30" Acrylic On Canvas
Both Combined & Other Elements
The piece shown below is from my Saints series. I also used glitter & sequins in a few of these; they sparkle and shine. My husband built the frames with recessed adjustable lights to shine down on the artwork.
