Did you mix the alcohol with the bleach[huh]HarpPlayerGene said:I hope others keep contributing to this thread. I like seeing all types of artwork.
Thank you for the compliments. I have enjoyed doing a series of these style of portraits of my favorite Blues artists. I do use photographs for reference. The watercolor of SRV is out of the style of the rest but was fun to do. The B&W ones are black ink and laundry bleach on grey paper. I can't remember exactly how I arrived at that technique; I think alcohol was involved.
