Back near mid-October I posted about beginning a couple of new projects and featured my initial layin image below-left.

The simple shift to the final image is a bit deceiving, as both the foreground and background had more of the intense coloring, some of which came off when I removed the masking fluid I’d applied. But, some neat dappled light patterning was then also created.

The main thing I had to protect was, as my wife put it – “don’t touch the figure, leave it!”

And I did, pencil lines and all 😊

The figure btw is watercolor with watercolor charcoal pencil lines, and the remainder of the painting is acrylic; all on Golden’s Light Molding Paste (link to the size I first bought to try out) applied to 16×20 canvas.

Below are samples of how the image can look framed and on 2 of the products also available at Fine Art America.

Don’t forget about their 30 day guarantee 😊 —

Framing of course is relatively expensive; below are 2 smaller priced items where Walking in Light also looks and works really well!

I chose to include the yoga mat option, partly because it just looks nice, and partly because the cropping lends & keeps a kind of inspirational touch which is also apparent in the full image ❤️

The watercolor/image + landscape/acrylic combo seems to work really well for me so far.

I’ve included an image below of one of my 1st in that watercolor/acrylic combo, also a 16×20, and also on canvas coated with Golden’s Light Molding Paste.

Linking to that product this time via a general “light molding paste” search on Amazon (very nice selection) – https://amzn.to/3D97Tun

There’s so much available nowadays to explore creatively, so I experiment, then pick & choose!

Enjoy the variety, even if just by knowing its there ❤️

  The question itself, whether Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt will match or join my currently selling best prints, is a question more of hope and companionship for my image of a truly usually bright spot in Austin, the system of greenbelts preserving the water that makes living here even possible ❤️

  And what I’ve come across figuring out how to make prints of this that folks can work with, ie, close to or within standard size dimensions, was how to get a 22×28 image convert into – in 2 examples – an 8×10 or 12×18, and I came up with this as a starting prototype….
• May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”May 15, 2022
  I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
