My Orchid/ Asian Inspired Paintings

My experimental project, here's an example:

"Something Different"

This was done on stretched canvas.  I experimented with Golden's gel mediums, specifically their  fiber paste and coarse molding paste.  So far I like using these products.  They add some nice texture to the pieces, which also create a decent tooth on the surface to catch colour pigments.  I still need to work with the material to get more comfortable though.  Anyways, this and 2 other pieces were displayed in the Orchid show.  They each ended up involving acrylic paint, chalk pastels, india ink, AND watercolours :P
