Forest pond by Satu Vartiainen

works well - I am in the middle of using the technique as a background will post it later.

Thanks Michael, see your work later!

You're definitely excelling at this Satu! Super piece! Wonderful variation of textures and lines, but also a cohesion about it. Looking forward to seeing more!

Hello,Satu, this looks intriguing. May I ask how it is done. I did try a Google search but with no success on techniques. Please excuse my making this request and ignore it if it is a trade secret. <br />I do like the effect you have achieved and the title suits it.

Thank you very much Seok and Sian! If you go to You Tube and search for Dendritic art or printing you&#39;ll find a couple of short videos. No trade secrets here! Anyway it was Michael who discovered it.

Love this! Thanks for the info Satu.

Thanks, Satu. I was so enthused I have just been out in the rain trying it out on a garden table with some old bits of cold frame and thin paper which was then rained on. Please stop raining so I can have another go !

They certainly are Satu

Very effective result Satu. Shall have to research this technique now!

Love this Satu, did it just &#39;happen&#39; or was there some planning in the composition. Whatever, it&#39;s excellent!

Thank you Debs, Dennis, Louise and Christine! No planning at all but I think it&#39;ll be possible to do some once I get the hang of it.

Brilliant Satu, you&#39;ve really got the hang of these. I&#39;ve done a few this afternoon and I love the surprising effects.

Thanks Fiona, aren&#39;t they fun to do!

Satu, just recieved your comment on mine, thank you. Ref paper; I&#39;ve also done a few on ordinary A4 printer paper and it comes out quite good on that. I tried one on the SAA practise paper and it wasn&#39;t so good, too thick and stiff. I&#39;ve used the mount board because I have lots of off cuts from cutting my owm mounts so they are to throw away really. That&#39;s what I use for doing my daft acrylics on. But they do lift the paint off the glass really well. Hope to see a few more from you, I like them because you have no control over them!

Thank you Fiona, I&#39;ll try the printing paper.

Nice one again Satu, some great texture there.

This draws you into a mysterious world. I&#39;m not familiar with Dendritic acrylic ...

Thank you Carole and Gudrun!
