This 12 x 16 inch painting packs some serious color! No title yet, hmmm... I created it using multiple layers of Amsterdam Acrylic paint and markers making on board. I used Amsterdam Reflex, Pearlescent and Expert series paints from them as well as their Acrylic markers. #royaltalensna

Finishing varnish on a 2x4 foot watercolor on various rice papers on mounted panel! The VanGogh watercolors and a little watered down Amsterdam Orange Reflux paints are really popping! The layering of it all has been a great joy! #createwithoutfear #royaltalensna #vangoghwatercolors #northshore
