I was looking into two of my watercolor paintings done in 1997. They always seemed good but without being finished. There was something missing and I was unable to find the clue and that's why I had put both pictures aside. The results astonished me. I'd like to mention that using mixed media means giving oneself enough time to really make a picture look complete and harmonious.
Mixed media is one of the most creative tools, endless possibilities, lots of fun.
I would overpaint again without any hesitation. I run through the house to find usable things. The brain does the creative mixture. There are no limits. But when a recent round of non-toxic cleaners and thinners hit the market I gave oils a try.
