I wanted to do more on this but things are happening re Covid, in my life. I’ll have more on this very soon – nothing w/me or family here in Austin (despite horrid #s lately), but nearby, also here in Texas.
Wonderful how fluid and flexible art is, giving us challenges one day, inspiration on another, and solace even when needed. I’m writing this late on Monday, and today (Monday) – cleaning the lines free of smears in the as yet waiting while areas, and adjusting edges on my figure’s dress – soft solace was what I sought and found.
I’d read that one can add touches of watercolor one’s acrylic paint, adding pigment brilliance, and the dominant acrylic will solidify it with itself, eliminating the need for fixing the colors after. Not totally sure how true that is, or what proportions, but it felt nice adding some Daniel Smith New Gamboge to my acrylic mix of gold and white with dabs of water.

Be interesting if I can retain the more watercolor-like tone and feel as I add more colors 😊
Wish me luck ya’ll! And stay well, best way we can contribute right now! ♥️
