Mystery Technique #115

May 20, 2022 – 9:08 pm

Curious about the techniques used here? You can learn more next month if you’ve signed up for email updates!

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #114:

Acrylic gloss medium is the secret to this technique! While working wet-in-wet, I experimented with dropping diluted acrylic gloss medium into the wet paint. Because of the difference in viscosity, the medium pushed the more fluid paint away and left a series of irregular shapes that are lighter in value.
