color rub
Color rubbing resembles the effect of tempera painting. The
process involves multiple layers of semi-opaque mediums, sometimes
with clear isolating layers in between, which are eventually
wet sanded or rubbed down to create subtle color shifts.
Left unvarnished, the surface resembles dry pastel; when sealed
it becomes a deeper saturated color.
Color variation can be controlled by the amount of colors and
order of application. Surfaces often have a vertical direction
and can be left unadorned or as a backdrop for other methods
of ornamentation. On properly prepared substrates, color rub
is very durable.
The samples here represent only a few of the color possibilities.
