Image relief from modelled fabric
For this structure picture you need a silk cloth in the format 55 x 55 cm. Coat the cloth generously with fabric stiffener. Immediately place it in artistic folds on the stretched canvas to create an exciting 3D look. Leave it to dry for approx. 6 x 8 hours.
Now spread structure pastes on the free surface of the stretched canvas, modelling a pretty surface structure on the picture, correcting any incorrectly draped fabric folds.
Let the stretched canvas dry for about 24 hours. Then you can paint it with acrylic paint. If you want the relief to have a white look, you can use acrylic paint to achieve an even white on the surface.
Or you can paint the different structures with grey and golden paint.
Designing stretched canvas with linen fabric
Stretched canvas frames look very elegant even when untreated. Draw a leaf shape with a pencil and then model it with a spatula and white structure paste.
Set a line as a leaf stem and then paint it with noble golden acrylic paint.
