This is just the first layer. It’s a little more army green than I’d intended, but it’ll eventually be mostly blue.
I hate working with paint thinner, but there is just no other way to get this sort of spidery wicking of the paint.
True story: In a rebellious fit of stupidity, I once tried to use a mixture of linseed oil and paint thinner. The drippy effect was pretty good, but apparently, I’d used too much linseed oil and too little thinner. When I went back to the studio the next day, the entire painting had slid off the canvas. Weird, huh?
