To me, these are especially nice as a group and for their design quality; I would call the colors muted, not dull. I applaud you for trying this method!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618828.post-56631218382811184092007-12-17T12:21:00.000-08:002007-12-17T12:21:00.000-08:00Rhonda, lovely is a pretty strong word, although t...Rhonda, lovely is a pretty strong word, although the first pour did make some lovely colors. <BR/><BR/>Joan, I was pretty discouraged when I took off the masking, but I'm ready to try again.Michelle Himeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850025429633112435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618828.post-55450737866827433892007-12-17T10:32:00.000-08:002007-12-17T10:32:00.000-08:00Mickey, The more I see these, the more I like them...Mickey, The more I see these, the more I like them. OK maybe you didn't get Jean's glowing colors, but they look good off the boards and with the white of the blog around them like a mat. We'll have to pool what we've learned from doing those pours, and the advice so many people gave us, and try again.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860888779743721034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618828.post-30791839476938992432007-12-17T05:58:00.000-08:002007-12-17T05:58:00.000-08:00I don't think any of these are failures! You may ...I don't think any of these are failures! You may need to "finish" your poured paintings off by going in and darkening some areas once you've got your pours done. And remember - spray-wet the paper first, then pour your yellow as your first color. I think that will help. But again, these are lovely!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618828.post-39865910405455928952007-12-16T16:13:00.000-08:002007-12-16T16:13:00.000-08:00Thanks, Lorraine.
