I wish I could see it in person.

After the painting, I was very curious and I applied the wax. This made me a bit 'reaction to the trachea ... because it contains solvents (I should have used a mask and do the work outdoors). My watercolor study on gessoed board came nice to see, a bit glossy but not too glossy. Thanks Julie for creating in me a new idea. <br />But I do not know how it could be on Aquaboard. .Rita Vasellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647144861301178572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-75386827596149389462014-03-25T03:31:06.373-06:002014-03-25T03:31:06.373-06:00Very wonderful flowers painting with very amazing ...Very wonderful flowers painting with very amazing colours !!!MYSTELIOS https://www.blogger.com/profile/04586221161231975293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-91004001091564004512014-03-24T23:21:15.951-06:002014-03-24T23:21:15.951-06:00Nice of you - thanks Jane.
