Fourth Element

[Goff]

Hi there- I have been using watercolors for years, but I have been switching over to gouache for the past few months..... This one is mainly gouache, but has a couple touches of watercolor. Clear coated with 10 layers of acid free Krylon gloss spray. C&C Welcome....

In her phlegmatic ways, Minerva Feghan Pirbright woes her best of moist days. "Upon the the rising stars I sing to you, In falling vapours I give you the calming way." No more will her companions guide her to impulsive and pleasure seeking adventures, as it has been known of shameless natures. Minerva longs for simpler time, when shadows of wandering lusts seemingly lured the unnecessary- and new beginnings marked the chromatic turnkey of unnatural temperaments.

Fantastic work Geoff, did the acid free Krylon gloss spray change the original colours and soften any sharp key-lines or edges?

This is amazing! So much imagination in this piece.. very nice job!

@Merritt - I was worried about that, but I think it did no "harm" to the lines/edges. And it certainly let the gouache/watercolors "POP" for vibrancy which is what I was thriving towards. I am thrilled with the results and as far as I am concerned, I won't go back to glass! I'll post a pic of the piece in the custom mount I created.....
