The painting has a very unique look to it, almost as if the paint is old..
I really do like the colour scheme and all.
It's really a great painting!

Thank you so much! I'm always trying to make the acrylics look deeper and more textured... they're so versatile it seems like a waste to just put a single flat layer on!

I buy huge tubs of gel medium and glaze so I can do isolation coats and transparent layers to try to get more character into the paint :D

Wow,that's cool, and a good idea.
It's great that you can make acrylics look so deep.
I'm buying a small set soon, and it seems theyr'e quite useful!
