This 5×5 #canvas has already gone through many iterations. The most recent layer was blue. I just added a new layer of Nova Color Raw Titanium Matte (translucent) and Golden Fluid Acrylic Titanium White, applied with palette knife and credit card, plus a bit of Pentalic Woodless Pencil 9B scratching at the bottom. Loving the #texture !

#pastels now dry. This is totally not what I expected, but that’s the joy of working improvisationally–you take what you’re given, and run with it.

In the world of improv, this is known as, “Yes, and…” It’s how I endeavor to approach ALL of my artforms, and life in general.
