Sculpting on the Canvas - Adding the Third Dimension

I have always been fascinated by paintings that give a sense of three dimensions on the canvas. Recently I have been using a new technique to heighten the sense of three dimension, specifically in addition to the traditional painting techniques I have begun to actually sculpt on the canvas.

​i am describing this process in detail in the My Painting Methodology section of my website under the following tab. You can click on the button below to take you directly to that section. To wet your appetite I picture below two of my initial sculpting efforts using Golden Molding Paste.
