This painting has quite a bit of texture. I spread coarse and fine pumice gel over the bottom 2/3 of the surface before painting. Then, when I began painting I dropped shavings [acrylic scraped up off my glass palette] into the the first wash. The pumice gel is absorbent so it’s interesting to see what happens with the washes. I attempted to capture the variety of colors and textures on the rocks… will repost when this is complete. Cheers!
This blog documents my creative journey with watercolor, mixed media, & oil painting. I'm enjoying myself immensely and hope you find something uplifting in my paintings and/or their stories.

Very nice colors. Would love to see the texture "in person". I haven't tried pumice gel yet, but have a sample jar and should get it out. Thanks for sharing your work in progress. It will be fun to see the final product, which I know will be lovely.
