Beachcombing girls by Peter Gander

Very nice painting. Did you use wax as a relief ??

Hi Sylvia, yes, I applied a wax candle for texture after the first base wash - I'm a big fan of it but one needs to be careful not to overdo it!

It works very well Peter, this is a lovely painting.

Very effective use of wax and a lovely painting.

Thank you Bilbow and Carole ;)

Nice handling of the watercolour (it is watercolour - isn't it?). Like the light on the girls - nice composition.

Thanks Thea, yes it is watercolour. A tricky but rewarding medium when it comes out right!
