This is a closeup of the top layer of my Web of Interbeing project with a possible background underneath it. It’s the “rough draft” stage, so I haven’t added any shadows or details yet or cleaned up the edges. It took a lot of steps to get to this stage, and I’ll share them next month!
ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #97:
Here’s another one of my Energy paintings. This one started with diluted Golden Gloss Medium as a resist. After it dried, I added multiple layers of diluted acrylic with the brushes pictured above. You might recognize the small white rectangle as a piece of a Kroger Extra Strength Erasing Pad. I like to cut them into small pieces and use them to partially remove thin acrylic glazes from the watercolor paper. It’s especially easy to lift the acrylic on top of the gloss medium. To increase the sense of depth, I used a painting knife to apply thicker strokes of acrylic in a few spots.
