Green pastel and acrylic path - 17 Feb 2025

Down the garden path

Using a simple geometry pattern, I wanted to experiment with pastel underneath and acrylic on top. The idea was to create variation, but smooth over the top to get some uniformity. Paradoxical.

When lit from behind like this, you can see the pastel most clearly.

Alternatively, looking from the front we get :

There is some additional variation due to the acrylic layers having clear tar gel in (I think?) to make it clump up more. Some variation in the shades of green is also in play.

Overall quite nice. Note, as always, how red the pencil lines can look.
