New Generation of Insect
I finished this little guy up last night. This is really different but it's what I call a 'happy mistake'. I had kinda ruined the surface of this paper with too much acrylic. Mixing acrylic and watercolor/gouache surfaces pretty much determines that once the acrylic is down there's no other option than acrylic. I like how this one turned out. You kinda hafta like pink, but the red oxide brown makes up for it. This little beetle ends up looking pretty neat with a think line of blue. I wish you could see that the beige color has a little bit of orange interference on top, it's shiny. Interference is my new toy *smile*. I'm trying to figure out if I should put it in my etsy shop now, or wait til after the Clothesline jurying to have something representative of what I want to try for the next year or so.
I'm still thinking of that grant and have received a lot more confidence about the ideas milling around in my head

I love how this looks and I'm not a fan of pink. I do wish I could see the effect of the interference. It sounds cool.
