Description of the "Granados Acrylic Embossment Technique”

The technique used on Bernie Granados' acrylic paintings, 
consists of many planned steps....  
 The designs are developed and transferred to a pressure-sensitive 
stencil material.
 The individual stencils making up the main design are cut out.
The background texture is applied with a palette knife.
 Background layers are applied, mountains, clouds, horizon line,
etc., using stencils and palette knife.
The foreground images and details are now applied and as one
image layer dries, another is applied over it, creating a deep, detailed
multi-sculptural image on the canvas.
 The acrylic color washes (10-50 layers) are applied on water-soaked 
canvas, showing off the sculptured images, and creating patina.
 The top images are painted in and details painted on them.
Layers of clear acrylic varnish are applied, and final fine 
detailing is done.
