DO YOU REMEMBER ? SEE THE BEFORE/AFTER RESULTS...

BEFOREAFTER

Last week I posted a print of this painting... but then it was so simple and plain with no shades or wax... I liked it but thought it needed more character... so I got out my pastels, glazes, pencils, crackle medium, and beeswax and had a blast! I think it is much better now... what do you think? like it?I really do and it smells delicious!

I love the crackle, and I've never tried beeswax before, but I've always wanted to--I love the look of it!

I love it! I have a few creations on canvas that I've tried recently and feel there is something still missing. You've got me fired up to go and try beeswax and some crackle paint to see if it will fill in the void.

Thanks! Really, I love the Lean on Me creation.
