This makes me think of ancient treasure because of the colors. I’m thinking of a treasure chest unearthed (hence the brown) laden with rubies and gold. What an imagination, right?! I started with a piece of wax paper that had dried matte medium on it. I added some red and gold acrylic and folded in half like an ink blot. I let that dry and did some drawing with purple sharpie. It needed a bit more gold so I added some more and folded again. I added green ink and folded. Eeew. Not great. I tried to dab some off and on the process dabbed red and gold all around. Hmmmmm, not bad. Let’s play some more. After crumpling it and opening it back up I added walnut ink and let it settle in all the nooks and crannies. When it had fully dried I added a think coating of gold over the entire surface. All of the layers gave it wonderful depth and richness. FUN!
