The palette and that wonderful granulation makes such a beautiful background. Beautiful

Posted by Diana Boanas SWA on Sun 22 Oct 17:42:30

Thanks all for your lovely comments so encouraging. Marjorie I mask stamen, splash watercolours backed up by inks and granulation fluid on dark inks., a scrubbing and lifting out session and some splatters also I gently wash out some thick paint before it dries completely. Only works occasionally :)
