I'm off to The Works tomorrow, hope you haven't caused a sell out! Lovely painting too!

A bit of fun - I saw these blank jigsaw puzzles in The Works, and couldn't resist the idea. But what to use on them? Thickly spread acrylics seemed like bad idea (thickly spread oils seemed even worse), and even acrylic applied with a brush didn't see right. ~~ I used felt tips. Then I added marker pens (much higher ink density), and, finally, a little white acrylic "ink" that is sold for airbrush use. I only have white in that format. ~~ 16 x 20" 500 piece jigsaw
