In preparation for painting Renewal I&II on #FibDex, I experimented with small cuts of the #nanocellulose material, testing how the #acrylic paint would sit on and be absorbed by the material. The image shows a progression from raw material (bottom) and raw material with acrylic paint (bottom right) to increasing layers of thin acrylic gesso added to the material before painting. The top piece has three layers of gesso.

Two #acrylic compositions painted on strips of #nanocellulose wound dressing, known as #FibDex, which is used to treat wounds and burns to the skin. This product is derived from #birch tree cellulose and was developed by Prof Marjo Yliperttula of Helsinki University.
