    This abstract piece is exactly what I adore in paint, and even alcohol ink mediums. It's like 1,000 times more vivid in its nature, and takes you to a place of beauty and wonder! Thank you, Jean for sharing! I will attempt this.
    It's absolutely gorgeous. 😘💖👍🎨

    Hallo Jean. Love them, they are beautiful. Sounds to me like you are a South African? The Ja gave it away ;) Hello from SA. PS first time I saw anyone use granulating medium, very interesting, love the effects. Seems like I must invest in some. At the exchange rate ;( it is almost like that! Hahaha.

    However, please list the other products you used, such as paper, acrylics, granulating liquids. Also, please do tell us why hot pressed, and not cold pressed, and alternatives, if available.

    I would like to know how many palettes you use, and do you manage to use all the you paint you squeeze out?

    • @JeanLurssen
      @JeanLurssen  3 года назад

      I try to only put out the paint I think I'm going to use. If I have any over I put it in my round palette that has a lid and keeps the paint wet for about a week or two so I can use for test pieces. The plastic palette you see in my demonstration is what I use mostly.

    I love those trees. Besides salt, are there any substitutes for grounding medium? Sorry, I meant granulation medium.

    • @JeanLurssen

      There is no substitue for granulation medium but you could just use water and the paints will also granulate but maybe not quite as much.
