Lilac Sediment
After this painting had dried I wanted a gloss finish so I added a layer of PVA.
I have to admit when applying it I was confused as to why a yellowy brown pigment was coming through into the PVA and causing it to separate, but I thought it would still dry normally.
The next day I came in and found my painting had not dried normally.
Instead the glue had dried in its separate little globules and had kept this pigment (which I now realise was the ink I used on one of the bottom layers) encased in these little shapes, causing this pigment to dry in these ripple like shapes.
Though it could be likened to leopard print…
I really quite like it, some of the shapes have a slight shimmer to them and they give the painting a more watery feel.
