is TEXTURE!

There are SO many ways to make unique textures from acrylic materials and this month I'll be sharing some of my favorite texture applications.

A quick and easy way to get some fun textures into your art projects is to use a stencil.  Below on the left are layers of acrylic color and gel textured by a palette knife...the middle and right images were created by dragging acrylic gel across a stencil.  I really love both looks, but if you prefer a cleaner/harder edge then a stencil works wonders!
