Thanks for your encouragement. I came up with one more option, which is to use the aluminum oxide simply with acrylic medium, like the base without pigment. If I can't locate that I'll just try mixing it with a fluid acrylic paint.
Luckily, the customer is my best friend and the portrait is of her kids. My last resort before starting completely over will be to chop it in half and treat it as two separate portraits. One of the children is finished. Actually I was almost completely done before this debaucle, which is why I'm trying so very hard to fix it. I've come so far with it. This may just end up being another lesson learned, but I'm extremely stubborn, patient, and steadfast when I'm trying to prove that something's possible. You know, if Wallis would sell their ground even in tiny increments and price it like gold it would still be more help than I've found thus far. I'd use it!
Again, thanks for the pat on the back. |
