This painting was a challenge for me but I needed to see if I could handle it. Using the lessons learned from one of the only famed alcohol artists I could find online, I used her process, not believing it could ever work. At first, I disliked the fact that covering a large area the first time with tihs medium was almost impossible. After I learned to accept what came forth, and after I completed it as far as I could take it, I loved the effect that I had originally thought was a disadvantage. I am so happy that this medium has opened up a new art direction for me. I love it!!!
