High flow glow

Painting by Vicky Christensen, mixed media on 16 X 20 inch canvas 
This painting started with splashes of high flow acrylics. Then I decided to try dropping alcohol into the paint to make some blooms. I'm an impatient person and probably didn't catch the paint at the right moment, so the blooms were pretty subdued. But then I decided it might be fun to embellish what the alcohol did with a mixture of titan buff and Liquitex iridescent medium. After seeing the shimmer the iridescent circles added, I just had to add more bling with some stencils and glass bead gel. Today I added some glazes and finished with a few more iridescent circles.
