Figure A Figure B Figure C

Materials:

painter's drop cloth
acrylic medium varnish
acrylic paints
hand-made papers
triangle/straightedge
water
Methylcellulose
soft rubber brayer
scissors

Steps:

1. Cut drop cloth to desired size and prime it with varnish. Allow to dry. Paint the entire canvas with the darkest color being used to ensure the off-white background doesn't show through and allow to dry for four hours.
2. Paint papers in desired colors if necessary (figure A).
3. Use a triangle/straightedge to mark the backside of painted paper into geometric shapes (figure B). Cut the shapes out.
4. Mix one part water with three parts methylcellulose. Allow to sit for at least one hour. Brush mixture onto the back of the painted papers; position them as desired (starting from the center and moving out) and smooth them with a brayer (figure C).
5. Trim cloth to chosen size and add border trim by overlapping papers onto the backside of the project.
