Step-by-step instructions for a textured painting with macramé cord on stretched canvas
Step 1: Paint the stretched canvas
Paint both stretched canvas frames with your chosen acrylic paint. In our example, we have chosen the colour "light ochre". If the colour is too thick for you, you can dilute it slightly with water. Apply as many coats as necessary until the colour covers. Remember to allow each coat of paint to dry completely before applying a new coat. If you need to do this quickly, you can also use a hairdryer.
Step 2: Prepare the wooden hemispheres
Paint as many wooden hemispheres as you like with the same acrylic paint, here: "Light ochre". Again, make sure that each coat of paint is thoroughly dry before applying a new one.
Step 3: Print out and transfer the templates
Print out the templates and cut them out carefully. Then place them on your stretcher frame and trace them lightly with a pencil. This will later serve as a guide when attaching the macramé cord.
Step 4: Glue on the macramé cord
Apply the glue along the marked lines and position the macramé cord on top. Press the cord lightly so that it sticks well. You can also create different patterns and shapes to give your picture a special structure.
Step 5: Glue on the wooden hemispheres
Once you have fixed the macramé cord in place, glue the painted wooden hemispheres to the stretched canvas. Distribute them as desired to give your textured image more depth and dimension.
