At-cha, at-cha

This is very small, about 7" x 4", on illustration board. I experimented with thick layers of transparent Liquin Light Gel/Wingel mixed with pastel 'in solution'. It's interesting but not as much fun as the flatter scratchier texture on the background. This is clear Colourfix primer on top of both the dried gel smears and a very bright overall underpainting.

Again, I used all pans except for the stems and the pink fire in the top background. Despite the small scale, I stayed away from the weeny applicators. Bravo to me.

Next step? Dunno. Mix the primer with the (hopefully) quick-drying acrylic gel that's on the way. Yeah! Big mess.
