Spike, a Work in Progress

 I’ve been wanting to do a painting with an out of focus watercolor background, and an acrylic foreground. But then I considered doing it in all watercolor. I used masking fluid.

A. I’m not overly fond of the background. The effect I wanted wasn’t working, so, not wanting to waste this, I salvaged it. It’s not what I envisioned, but I decided to just go with it.

B. The masking fluid took up not only the pencil drawing, but the paper itself in places. This portion will now be acrylic by necessity. If that works. Barbie believes an under painting will settle the paper. We’ll see.
