Arty Tip - Acrylic and Texture

Quick Arty tip of the day: Acrylic paints go nicely over tissue paper. Apply a thin layer of watered down PVA to the surface you are gluing onto (ideally board or mount card), lay the tissue on top and quickly slap on more watered down PVA, smoothing out air bubbles (but not creases!) as you go. Once dried, paint acrylic over the top. Lovely textures - try pastel over the top afterwards (when dry), this will really lift out the texture! If the board warps as the tissue shrinks, turn it over and glue more tissue or newspaper to the back.
