Want to put something in that left lower corner... mmm... used light molding past with stencils. The colors and design remind me of Albuquerque. Like how my mixture of colors is getting better. Still got to work on some of that stencil work not looking like blobs.

I really like the Clear Tar Gel... my experiments thus far are very iffy, not sure how to use it effectively yet.
Okay, experiment with pumice gel....with a little garnet -- the upper being light molding paste...{This is a before picture not finished, only paint is the blue in the molding paste 6/30} the whole thing went south when I started painting on it and the first actual in the trash, nothing salvageable piece. I've tried working with that pumice 3 times now with awful results, and I found not to put down the light molding paste by itself or without a plan. No way to save it later. Not fond of that pumice gel.
I wish someone would have put these in my hands first! I've had the "Creative Paint Workshop for Mixed Media" which as been very helpful with basics of composition, abstract design, new products and their application, but the "acrylic Revolution" is chalked full of techniques on how to use some of those Golden products I've been messing with, also great ideas; textures, transfers.. it's like going to an art class. Love it.

"Creative Edge" by Mary Todd Beam is taking all this knowledge and letting yourself go. There is one not shown "Expermenting with Color" which is teaching me a lot about color theory and application in step by step lessons that I find invaluable.

Have a great weekend!
