Fireworks

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 12 x 16 inch canvas panel 

 This painting is the result of many layers of texture, stencils and acrylic paints and mediums. I started by applying molding paste through a stencil, followed by drips and runs of Golden high flow acrylics. In later layers I wanted to see what would happen if I mixed acrylic paint loosely with matte medium and applied it with a palette knife to partially obscure the layers beneath.

The photos below show the painting in earlier stages.
