Vermiculation Comb Example |
How to use texturing Combs using acrylic products
1.For cork or wood: Seal the surface as usual. Make a 50/50 mixture
of gesso and texturing paste. It is suggested that you use a colored
gesso that matches the color of the vermiculation. (Black, Brown or
Gray) Apply this mixture (fairly thick) on the surface with a
sponge. Try not to do too big of an area at one time. Please note:
If you are using Jansen Texturing Paste, gesso can be eliminated but
a small amount of Jansen paint can be used to tint the mixture for
color in the appropriate areas.
2.Next drag the comb through this
mixture in a zig-zag motion trying to get a random look to the
pattern. The pattern should go across the feather. (See examples)
Clean off the comb occasionally with a paper towel to remove build
up of the texturing mixture. It is useful to practice this on a
scrap piece of wood or paper plate to perfect the procedure before
doing it on your carving. The net result of this procedure will
leave a raised ridge of texture over the entire surface. Make sure
that you do not miss any area where you want the vermiculation to
appear. Let this area dry completely before going to the painting
step.
3.Next paint the area the base color of the feather group. If the
side pocket group of feathers are gray then paint the entire surface
gray etc. Let dry completely.
4.Next “Dry Brush” the dark color of
the vermiculation across the top of the ridges. Use a flat brush for
this procedure making sure that the brush is almost void of paint to
prevent getting paint down in the valley of the ridges. Once dry you
can procedure to detailing feather edges etc. if need be.
The combing methods above will also apply to using oil paints
however we suggest that you always experiment with the various Oil
based products to make sure they will give you the desired effect.
