Elevate Your Acrylic Landscape Painting with Heavy Texture:

Tips and Techniques from a Visually Impaired Artist

Hello, my friend welcome to Blind-Sighted Brushwork! I'm Rick Fravor, a visually impaired artist who loves creating landscape paintings. I started painting as a hobby after graduating college but that soon became my passion.

In this blog, I hope to provide my favorite tips and techniques for creating acrylic paintings with heavy texture, inspiring you to experiment with your own painting style.

Adding texture to your paintings can create depth and dimension, making them visually appealing and interesting. To achieve heavy texture, I use a specific type of paint that is thicker and heavier than regular acrylic paint. I also use a combination of palette knives, brushes, and other tools to apply thick layers of paint onto the canvas. I experiment with different textures and mediums, such as gels and pastes, to create unique effects.

In future posts, I plan to discuss with you all the materials and techniques involved in creating heavy-texture art. Since discovering this style of painting, I have included it in almost every painting and plan to do so in the ones to come!

I’ll also post some content about my digital art process as well because, to be honest, I have been doing more of that lately than painting with acrylics. Those two may seem disconnected but I promise you, the way I use them, they integrate quite well with one another.

Through this blog, I hope to inspire you to try new techniques, experiment with texture, and find joy in the creative process. Whether you are an experienced artist or a beginner, there's always something new to learn and discover in the world of acrylic painting.
