I've been under the weather lately and am just now getting to publish these posts that have been sitting in draft mode for a while. (You know how that can be.)
Another fun tool I recently came across is
Golden's mica gel. It's basically clear gel medium with mica flakes in it. You can get gold, pearl, and black in large and small flakes. I picked up the pearl and gold in the small flake. Here's my first project using it. I've been very inspired by fall color lately so the gold mica seemed like a good start.
I started with an old 5x7 canvas from another project and gesso'd over it. Lot's of layers of acrylics and stencils and this is what I came up with.

| Stencils and layers and texture hooray! |
