It’s easy to create a fabulous textured abstract painting using a selection of Resene Metallics.
Resene art with Mark Rayner – Project 118
Difficulty level: Moderate
To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene SpaceCote Flat tinted to Resene Bowie.

Apply a generous coat of Resene Quick Dry to the canvas and then, while still wet, apply a layer of tissue paper to create a textured surface.

Carefully apply a second coat of Resene Quick Dry over the tissue paper and allow to dry.
Step three
Apply a coat of Resene Astronaut to the canvas and allow to dry.
Step four
Apply a generous coat of Resene Time Warp to the canvas, brushing in random directions to emphasise the texture. Allow to dry.
