Well, I add, like, a TON of water to my acrylic paint. A ratio of paint to water would be like 1 to 4. And since I use a lot of light colours, I sometimes water it down even more (like 1 to 6). Also, I gradually darken areas, beginning with lighter tones and then shading bit by bit. Oh, and I use watercolour paper, but there's acrylic paper too. I've never really bothered with canvas; it's just more to deal with.




Perhaps stars fall, just as the rain

Until they burn on a windowpane

The grief of loss no written place

It is simply painted, on my face.
