Glaze

For step two of this background technique, I washed the backgrounds with an orange-yellow glaze--paint and gel medium mixed together.

This technique is called Inky Layers and it comes from Bernie Berlin's book, "Artist Trading Card Workshop," published by Somerset Studios. This book is full of inspiring techniques and we plan to start exploring them at the Yolo-area ATC group. I'll be teaching a workshop on Sept. 15 and this is one of the techniques I want to try out. Several more steps to come....

I'm also using these for a background swap on CC Swaps.
