Experimenting...


This is a A5 water colour board that I have 'recycled' as I did not like the original picture I had made. 

I had run out of Texture Paste, so I made my own using some wood ash and matt medium.


The wood ash was a little damp when I mixed it with the matt medium, so I left it overnight to harden off.


I sprinkled over some Paperartsy Infusions Blackcurrant and sprayed with water, A little later when I checked the wood ash mixture started to break up a little, I guess it was a little too damp.


I did not like it at first, but after a couple of days I began to really enjoy looking at it. It reminds me of an ariel photograph of a ravine or river bed, the infusions like tributaries!!


The larger particles are charcoal, nice effect!!!. Boulders brought down when the glacier melted millions of years ago!!


This certainly needs more experimentation and playing, and with different colours.
