I need your help!

I'm currently working on a mixed media painting for an upcoming gallery show. The painting will be done completely in the color red.

What I need are various ideas for textures. It must be able to be painted (or already be red). So far I've been using sand and das (which is an air dry clay). I want textures that are really noticeable, like the color.

I also need ideas for a really good, high gloss varnish.

all ideas are welcome, ready set go!
